Organized by resident Tammy Panza, this Neighborhood Crime walk was held on May 3, 2015.
"Residents of Lake Worth, Florida, partnered with PBSO deputies to walk through neighborhoods to encourage citizens to be aware of crime and to contact PBSO when they see anything suspicious. Residents and deputies handed out flyers with the slogan, "Make the Call Y'all," to get the community to call PBSO should they witness a crime."
The next Crime Walk will be held on May 17 in the Pineapple Beach neighborhood. Walkers will meet at South Grade Elementary--time to be announced.
I hope the crime walks help and bring more awareness of all the crime in this city. The stats you post on here are alarming, so much crime happening in just a few days always. Awful. The drug addicts, drug dealers, prostitutes, drunks, gangs, and low-lifes we have in this city, so much delinquency here, it is out of control, will it ever get better? It seems like we are doomed. This city is a very dangerous place to live. Just drive into the Burger King parking lot, not safe. This city is out of control. It needs our prayers.
ReplyDeleteAfter living here for more than 20 years, I do not see it getting better, only worse, more crime and danger here. We feel it is better if we sell here and move to a safer part of the county, sad we have to do so, but my family deserves to be safe and not live in a crime infested city like LW. We can no longer risk living here in LW anymore. Too much crime in Little Guatemala.
ReplyDeletewell a different crime--zoo gym downtown lake worth closed without telling members and they all lost their money--someone should have a law suit on theses losers
ReplyDeleteThere are people that are not giving up without a fight. Pam Bergsma's Pineapple Beach has had neighborhood cleanups that are making a difference.
ReplyDelete@7:47--The way that I had read the article it was the Zoo club west of here and that the one on Lake Avenue will honor their clients. If the one in our downtown charges more, the customer will have to pay the difference.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that slowly, slowly our elected officials are starting to pay attention to this issue. We need more of these crime walks, but more importantly we need more PBSO presence and we need our City Manager and Commission to press PBSO on these issues.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like people are afraid to question PBSO b/c a question somehow translates to being anti-PBSO.
I'm all for PBSO, but we need more of them and we need them to do their jobs.
