Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To expand and enhance Citizens' Crime Watch programs:  Neighborhood Crime Watch, Youth Crime Watch, Airport Watch and Seaport Watch.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Services Provided/Benefit to State:

 

 

 

 

 

The continued growth of Hispanic and Creole populations in South Florida has placed a strain on neighborhoods and schools.  This appropriation will help create awareness in neighborhoods and schools where Crime Watch can make an impact in reducing crime in communities where the immigrant residents are not familiar with our laws.  Airport and Seaport Watch will bring back two previously successful programs which create awareness and reduce crime in South Florida's two largest ports of entry.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Reduction of crime at the State's largest seaport and international passenger and cargo airport.  Reduction of crime in immigrant rich communities in South Florida.
