A committee
convened to implement the recently funded Fall River Safety and Substance
Abuse Action Project (see
related article) held their first meeting in the Community Room of the
Fall River Police Department. The group began discussion on ways to
implement the four environmental strategies described in the grant
proposal: 1) Enforcement, including community policing, youth violence
prevention and the neighborhood crime watch; 2) Education, including the
Citizens’ Police Academy, education and training through the Family
Service Association and P.Y.C.O.; 3) Communication, including the use of
media and the creation of public service announcements; and 4)
Collaboration, bringing together members of the Fall River Police
Department, the Neighborhood Associations, and the Healthy Youth Task
Force in a cooperative effort. Click
