On Thursday, January 22d, a number of members of the Frances Street Neighborhood Association and other unaffiliated neighbors met at the Colliers home on Fleming Street to discuss the exceptional number of invasive home burglaries that continue to plague our neighborhood. At this meeting, attended by Key West police officers Lt. J.R. Torres and Officer Steve Torrence, we were given a very complete update on the circumstances of what is going on in the neighborhood as well as a glimmer of hope that our police department will solve this fairly soon.
As a part of the officer's presentation it was suggested that we start a "Neighborhood Watch" for our part of Old Town. I would like to ask that we consider formally establishing such a program for our extended neighborhood. Please comment here if you have any thoughts or interest in that subject. This isn't something that is scheduled for discussion at our next meeting but is something that I hope folks will volunteer for. We will have a separate meeting to look at this possible program and how it might be structured to see if we can add another level of safety to our neighborhood and bring a quick end to this current spate of burglaries.
