Neighborhood communication

As eager as the police are to help combat crime, they can only do so much, and they can only do it AFTER a crime has been committed. The burden is on us to do what we can to prevent crime. This means knowing who is in our neighborhood, telling neighbors when we are out of town, and taking initiative to report suspicious activity.

To that end, the RGNA has created an email listserv to permit neighbors to keep each other posted on neighborhood events. You can sign on to the listserv by sending an email here.

Crime prevention support

Throughout the remainder of 2008, the Neighborhood Services Division of the Neighborhood and Community Services Department is offering a series of two-hour training sessions for block watch and neighborhood crime watch groups. These trainings will be available to any resident of Kansas City, Mo., free of charge! Click here for more information.
