Symposium to kick off neighborhood watch program |
|
October 11, 2017 |
The Boundary County Sheriff’s Office is
sponsoring “A Night Out Against Crime: A
Symposium on Safety” which will be held from 3
to 7 p.m. Thursday, October 26, at the former
Bonners Ferry National Guard Armory across the
highway from the Boundary County Middle School.
The event will also be the launch date for a new
effort in Boundary County by Sheriff Dave Kramer
to begin a county-wide Neighborhood Watch
program, and officers will be emphasizing the
benefits of neighbors looking out for neighbors,
and of immediately reporting suspicious activity
or crimes.
The symposium is designed to put residents of
our community in touch with those who can
provide the latest technology and crime
prevention tools. Vendors have been invited to
bring the latest in locks, alarm systems and
other tools and to educate us with displays
about the newest and most effective ways to keep
ourselves and our families safe and free from
crime.
Everyone will be encouraged to turn on outdoor
lights at night, write down serial numbers of
expensive items, photograph and or engrave
personal property, lock windows, doors and cars,
be aware of internet scams, protect against
identity theft and make it much more difficult
for you and your family to become victims of
crime.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend ...
and bring your neighbor! |
