Crime Watch provides the following educational materials to
further ensure the safety and welfare of the community:
Pamphlets and materials containing valuable
safety tips are distributed to the public at every Crime Watch meeting. To
receive information on preparations necessary in the event of a terrorist
attack, Crime Watch recommends that residents visit www.ready.com.
The Crime Watch Gazette
, a quarterly newsletter, provides the most recent information about safety
issues and programs, as well as services and events sponsored by the
organization.
Crime Watch produced a public service announcement in cooperation with Coral
Gables TV in order to remind citizens to dial 9-1-1 in the event of an
emergency.
During the holiday season, Crime Watch
distributes brochures to businesses throughout the City. The brochures contain
recommendations for additional precautions that can be taken by merchants and
shoppers during the shopping season.
Graffiti
What is Graffiti?
First of all, it is a crime! Graffiti is a
deliberate act of destruction of private property. It costs property owners,
residential as well as commercial, thousands of dollars each year. It creates a
blight on communities across the United States.
What can be done about it?
The Crime Watch office is asking all residents
for their help in eliminating graffiti from our community. If you see graffiti
on your block or anywhere in Coral Gables, please call the Crime Watch office
at 305 441-5760 and code enforcement will be notified immediately. Coral Gables
has contracted with a company that is responsible for removing existing
graffiti within 24 hours from private and city property. Graffiti on traffic
signs, mail boxes, utility boxes and lightpoles will be reported to the county
or appropriate business.
