LEARN: With the current state of the economy, budget cuts are affecting even our law enforcement departments. This means a smaller police force. To help fill the gap that will be left by the officers, investigators, detectives, etc. that have been let go, we, the citizens of this city have to get involved in making and keeping our communities safer. I, Monkey Woman, live in a…how should I say?...um…not a very safe part of town. In fact, one month after moving to this neighborhood, my car was stolen from our front yard…and stripped…SO, being the awesome super hero that I am, I went on the internet to look for ways to help make my community safer!
ACT: Using the information I learned, I came up with several ideas that would make my neighborhood less prone to crime. For example, I could add more street lights around the neighborhood. My car was stolen BECAUSE there was no street light lighting it. I would also ask neighbors to keep their lights on in their front yard and maybe even in their back yard. I am going to start a Neighborhood Watch!! I’ll even put the signs up…that will discourage people from doing criminal acts. Also, I will knock on people’s doors to recruit more people to join Neighborhood Watch; if they don’t answer I will leave some sort of flyer letting them now a neighborhood watch is starting in our area and in what ways everyone can help prevent crime here. I think these flyers will discourage crime as well. I will hold monthly meeting for our Neighborhood Watch. I will also patrol around the streets at night. If I presence any crimes being committed I will use my powers! You don’t remember?...It’s the banana peel I make appear spontaneously in front of bad guys and the poison banana seeds I shoot out of my index fingers…
These street lights will help my community be safer! YAY!
IMAGINE: What if a safety emergency occurred in my neighborhood five years from now? Like, um, what if there were burglars targeting our area…HMM. First, I would deliver flyers to each house to notify the neighbors. I would hold a NW meeting to hear about people’s concerns and also their suggestions. I would also keep watch at night.
Me keeping an eye on my local JITB..notice my awesome banana peel.
We have very similar ideas. I haven't posted mine yet, but will tonight. I'm all about a neighborhood watch program as well. And lighting - a must!
ReplyDeleteyay neighborhood watch....it helps a lot. Oh and loving the Jack in the Box picture lol
ReplyDeleteI love your idea to stop the criminals with your banana peels and poisonious seeds.. Too funny..
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I see as a flaw in this well.. the lighting with more lights means more cost to the city for electricity.. but then again you would pay for that right? LoL
ReplyDeleteso you would be sort of like a night watch person? your idea is different but honeslt very real this can really happen if we put the effoet to it!
ReplyDeleteMan, your car was stolen out of your front yard, too? Thieves obviously don't feel like they have anything to fear from the cops. I agree that the neighborhood watch is the way to go (as well as banana seeds and peels), nobody will help us but ourselves. Also, it's good to know that Jack In the Box will be safe.
ReplyDeleteI really like that first picture! It was really nice how the picture of you fits in with the background so well.
