OPD Neighborhood Watch Meeting
Oshkosh Police Department
Crime Prevention Unit
420 Jackson St.
Oshkosh, WI 54903

March 5, 2010
Dear Community Leaders,
The Oshkosh Neighborhood Watch Program is taking important steps to expand priorities and community involvement and is seeking new partnerships throughout the city. We're building strong ties between residents and we're hoping businesses and civic organizations will also sign on.
Officers for the executive board will be elected for the first time on March 18, 2010, 6PM at the Webster Stanley Elementary School, 915 Hazel Street. Please consider bringing your experience as a leader and community member to that meeting, and please consider joining the executive board yourself. Business and civic leaders who represent larger organizations could contribute in ways that individual homeowners cannot. Your involvement would link Neighborhood Watch into existing networks that will take us years to build alone.
Please help us spread awareness of this meeting and of our program so we can benefit from maximum community participation. We meet as a city program at least every two months and local block captains periodically hold their own regular meetings.
Neighborhood Watch has already proven invaluable in promoting public safety and we're beginning to build a stronger sense of community and responsibility that will generate goodwill for years to come. Besides discussing local crime and beautification, Neighborhood Watch is facilitating neighborhood garage sales and planning block parties.
We're working with the Juvenile Restitution Program to put teens on a path away from future incarceration by compiling a list of restoration and improvement projects. They are sometimes paid minimum wage through this county’s program so they can reimburse crime victims.
There are direct and indirect ways to build and keep a stronger community and this invitation is shared with you in hopes of keeping in touch over the coming years. We exist as common ground for all neighbors to share ideas and concerns.
Sincerely,
Joe Nichols
Crime Prevention Officer
