BE A PART OF NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH!
Join the e-mail list
for Oak Forest Neighborhood Watch alerts, news, safety info, etc. Please do so by sending me an e-mail with your full name
and ward number you live in. If you know anyone else who would like to be added to the list, please have them send me an e-mail
also.
The purpose of this e-mail list is, first and foremost, to notify the Oak Forest residents of any criminal activity
that is happening or has happened in our neighborhoods. This works by everyone participating in passing the information on
to let as many people know for what to keep a lookout. Five of the seven wards in Oak Forest are now participating in the
neighborhood watch program.
Not only will you receive information, but you can contribute as well. When an incident happens,
call 911 first. Then as soon as you have the opportunity, send me an e-mail regarding the incident. I will forward it to all
persons on the watch e-mail list. The information given should always include date of incident, approximate time, street location
(example: 159th & Cicero), description of perpetrator(s), and explanation of what happened (the more detail the better).
If anyone needs a follow-up to any incident, Sgt. Richard Beatty of the Oak Forest Police Department is always willing to
provide any information that he is allowed to at that time.
With the efforts of the Oak Forest residents and the police
department working together to keep our city safe, we CAN make a difference.
Joining the e-mail list is as easy as it
gets to be part of the Oak Forest Neighborhood Watch program. The more people who get involved, the more effective the program
becomes. Please do your part in making our community a safer place to live.
MY BACKGROUND: I am a resident of Oak Forest
for 36 years (born and raised here). I am the 3rd ward Neighborhood Watch Coordinator. I started the watch program a few years
ago on my block (151st & Lavergne) and it has grown from there. I have been a member of the Oak Forest Crime Prevention
Commission for about a year now.
My e-mail address is: evalaroche@sbcglobal.net .
NOTE: There are no chain e-mails ever sent through this e-mail list.
BE SAFE, BE WELL!
