Well done Jonah - I like this idea. I am also quite prepared to put in extra money to OBSID to employ more patrollers - I believe both camera's and patrollers are important, but understand that people walking the beat are good deterrent. Could someone at OBSID come up with some scheme whereby people could pledge more money for more patrollers - perhaps if a particular road contributed for a patroller in that road or block? Let's keep the momentum going people - feeling more optimistic about my 'hood' by the day!! Carolyn Neville On 24 Jun 2015, at 11:52 AM, Jonah Sack <jonah.s...@gmail.com> wrote:
