Evening on the Avenue with the COP's

Comment Up

As we have so much crime in Lake Worth, some of the members of the COP program, established in 1989, were at the Cultural Plaza last night in a recruitment effort.

The Citizen Observer Patrol (COP) is a volunteer unit of the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office. The program is comprised of over 80 individual COP units from neighborhoods much like ours.
  • Volunteers wear distinctive uniforms and drive specially marked vehicles
  • Each COP vehicle is equipped with a radio and police scanner
Spotted were Wally St.Cyr, Gwen Alexander, Yolanda Sanchez,
 Nadine Burns and several other volunteers.

  1. This city sucks, too much crime, tired of living in this crimefest. After 20 years of living here and dedicating my life to this city, I am looking to move out, so sick and tired of the crime, yesterday I was only gone an hour and a half and someone in broad daylight at noon time stole my trellis arch in front of my house that I have had there for years, a black wrought iron trellis arch, why do people need to steal? I am so over this crime in this city, it sucks. No one cares, we live among thieves. This city seems to have the most undesirable elements living or attracted to coming here. The police and city never can do anything about all the crime here. I am fed up and will be looking to move out of Lake Worthless. This city has gone to hell.

  2. That does suck.
    The city along with Mary Lindsey says she is offended when crime is reported and using the Internet for the facts for articles on crime in Lake Worth. Ask Mary Lindsey to help you find your trellis and call all her sheriff friends to get out there and find it.

  4. So sorry about your trellis. That is really crappy. Last week, someone stole a bromeliad out of my neighbor's front yard. He questioned why someone would do that as he would happily give anyone a cutting so they could grow their own. This happened on a very nice street on a nice block where neighbors know each other. Course he's not going to report this to the sheriff, but it's the kind of minor crime that changes the way you feel about where you live. I'm also plotting my escape. Every time I go into Publix, night or day, I see the roughest most awful characters and now more and more illegal aliens. I'd like to go back to America, where there are just regular people. Not illegal aliens, not druggies. Just regular Americans.

  5. Those lowlife are from sober houses whose operators are making a fortune from medical insurance and taxpayers. That Publix should be boycotted til they clean up, I saw some bum eating a deli meal in the store without paying, the cost is passed on to paying customers, Publix is in on the EBT scam, collecting from us as well I dont think a boycott would phase them.
