JULY
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH IS NOW
USA on Watch
Hank and Pat McGill attended
by special invitation, Neighborhood Watch training
by the National Sheriff’s
Association at the Anaheim Convention center. It was an
all day affair with Law
Enforcement Officers from all over the USA. We were
selected to attend as
a Neighborhood watch Coordinator and Block Captain in
San Bernardino County. 
USA on Watch is
still Neighborhood watch
and held by the National Sheriff’s Association.
The only difference is, neighbors are now asked
to help with Homeland Security and watch for
terrorist.
Our mission is to observe and report.
This sounds easy and that’s the way
we have been handling
it. With all the new information you will know what
to observe and how to report it, without getting disgusted when you call to
report something suspicious. You will understand priorities and why the
Deputy did not show
up on your call.
We already know
that we must take care of ourselves and our property
just by listening to the daily news. Government Budgets from top to bottom,
Cities, Counties, States and Federal Government are not exempt from
budget shortages.
The best example is Maywood
California where they disbanded the police
force after 86 years and
the County is taking over the City operation.
You read Headlines, where
the economic recovery is losing steam.

The Rock Lady has Rocks
Pat would like you to join Neighborhood watch and pick up a rock. If you
are already a member, give her a call
and she will see that you get a rock.
760-951-7218NOTICE: Rocks are guaranteed, if your rock is fading,
Pat
says “Have Brush Will Travel” Just give me a call. Missing rocks will be replaced.

COP’s
WOW That June Month was a rough one.
Our COP Meeting was on the first day of June and everyone said yes to all
the extra activities. Since that meeting our special patrols and vacation
checks have more than tripled and it looks like that will happen again as
more residents
go on vacation.
