Roswell to Launch Citywide Block Watch Pilot
Roswell will start a ten day pilot block watch in a high crime area with police chief L M Hall announcing the initiative at a press conference. Residents will be contacted to attend a meeting at the Roswell Chamber of Development and Commerce and report suspicious activity via block captains. The plan, a joint effort of the Roswell Police Department and Roswell Development and Chamber, aims to expand citywide if successful. Juvenile arrests in major crimes accounted for about 60 percent in 1975, prompting the mayor to seek formation of a City Crime Commission for fiscal 1976. A Crime Prevention Fund, funded by local business contributions, has raised over $1,000 for information gathering, with priorities on valuable and verifiable tips.
