Shaw Creek residents recently met after forming a crime watch in their
neighborhood with the assistance of Ferris Police Investigator Sam Love. At
least 34 residents attended this months' meeting and another is scheduled in
December. Residents are encouraged to contact their block captains, if they have
one. Neighbors are encouraged to get to know one another, beside, behind and
across the street and not to be afraid to call police when something seems
suspicious. Neighborhood Crime Watch community game plan is to; create
awareness, organize citizens, coordinate with law enforcement, identify
concerns, issues or problems, develop strategies, train and action steps.
