A Philadelphia school in the Northeast Region of it's city is setting up a
new project. It is called the Jr. Townwatch program.

A townwatch is where people in the area, patrol  their neighborhhoods.They
hopefully lower crime and vandalism during weekend hours, before or after
work and some even do it during the work day.

 Well, we are setting up a program that will deal with the children and have
them establish a partnership with the local police department, environmental
programs, ecology programs, etc.... During their day they will be on
graffiti alert, looking for tags that are ruining our neighborhood. During
the weekend they will take a city training course teaching them about,
community policing, peer mediation, park clean up and water testing. The
kids will also take classes to learn about CPR and first aid. They will tour
and learn about all the hardworking units within the Philadelphia Police
Department and see how 911 works.

The hope and goal of this project is that  the kids will see the police as a
viable profession and that it is easier to work within the law then against
it.

Our future is in their hands. Hopefully we can teach them to be responsible,
caring and giving young men and young women.
