Community Watch Blog Started

The second Community Watch program meeting in Bradford was Wednesday night at Fretz Middle School.

Project Pride Manager Lisa Keck said Community Watch deals with more issues than crime.

"I think a lot of times people think drugs, guns, robberies," she said, "but there are a lot of other quality of life issues."

Keck mentioned code enforcement, pet problems and trash as some of the issues that could be dealt with.

"As a group I think we can tackle a lot of different things and use this as a mechanism to do it, get the word out to a lot more people and get a lot more involvment. That's basically what we're hoping for here," she said.
