The Memphis Police Department encourages citizens to actively participate in their communities to enhance local crime prevention measures. Danielle Boothe, the department's Neighborhood Watch Manager, appeared on "Wake Up Memphis" with host Ben Deeter to discuss this initiative. According to a police department social media post, Boothe promoted the formation of Neighborhood Watch groups and underscored the availability of the Neighborhood Crime Prevention Grant.
Boothe's conversation with Deeter highlighted the grant as a means to finance security upgrades within local communities. The grant provides funds for installing items like lighting and cameras that could bolster safety. In the interview, as detailed by the Memphis Police Department, she stated, "For more info on starting a Neighborhood Watch or applying for the grant, visit www.memphispolice.org." The grant aims to encourage a sense of shared accountability in terms of community safety and furnish neighborhoods with the tools they need to remain vigilant against crime.
Memphis residents interested in learning more about Neighborhood Watch programs or wishing to apply for the Neighborhood Crime Prevention Grant can find additional resources on the department’s official website.
