Southeast Quality of Life <br />Strategic Neighborhood Action Plan <br />2. Lock down Riley High School during the day, in particular, the lunch hour. <br />3. Sources of funding include the new omnibus crime legislation which has <br />funding for Boys and Girls Clubs, midnight basketball programs and other <br />type of prevention programs (ie. project DARE). <br />4. Under the leadership of the SEQL board, expand neighborhood security <br />Programs offered at the partnership center. <br />Next Steps <br />. Block Watches <br />The most important next steps for the Neighborhood Security Task Force <br />is the organization of the South East neighborhood into well organized <br />block watches. Starting in October/November, 1994 a block club a month <br />needs to be organized. From the block captains to the active block <br />residents will be drawn the manpower to carryout many of the other <br />community driven activities, such as the informational picketing effort <br />aimed at prostitute and drug dealers. The neighborhood organizer must <br />also assist in this organizing effort. <br />2. Police Pamership <br />The Police must assist in neighborhood watch and become a full partner <br />in the community policing effort. Without the police department's full <br />cooperation with the goal of this program including foot and bicycle <br />patrols, the partnership with the neighborhood will not be fully realized. <br />Prevention needs to be embraced by the police as of equal importance with <br />the criminal apprehension function. Reductions of the perception of crime <br />can add to the well being of the neighborhood as well as the number of <br />arrests. <br />3. Institutional Partnership <br />The institutions in the neighborhood need to become full partners with the <br />SEQL board to allow for such programs as safe havens to succeed. The <br />City School Board and the Boys and Girls Club are to play particularly key <br />roles in this effort. <br />107 <br />
