St. Armand board endorses resident-led Neighborhood Watch, schedules Jan. 29 organizational meeting
Summary
Town leaders and local police outlined a resident-run Neighborhood Watch, agreed to a town liaison, and set an organizational meeting for Jan. 29, 2025 at 6:30 p.m. at Town Hall.
Supervisor Davina Thurston opened a special Town Board meeting on Jan. 16, 2025, to establish a Neighborhood Watch Committee and introduced local law enforcement to advise residents on forming the group. Thurston said the Town Hall will be available as a meeting site and proposed a private organizational meeting for Jan. 29, 2025 at 6:30 p.m.
Law enforcement urged the group to be resident-run rather than run by the board. Councilperson JP O’Neil suggested townspeople, not the Town Board, should run the Neighborhood Watch, and the assembled group agreed that Deputy Supervisor Karl Law would serve as the Town’s liaison to the neighborhood group so the Town remains informed without running the group. "I don’t think it would hurt to have some sort of vetting process," Chief Perotti said, recommending organized and structured volunteers.
