DUNBAR, W.Va. --Police in Dunbar say their city is becoming safer thanks to
neighbors like you.
Officers started the Neighborhood Crime
Watch Program just a few months ago and say they're already seeing big
progress.
"What we're noticing is that crime
is decreasing in some areas," Chief Earl E. Whittington said. "We're
not getting as many calls. Or in some cases, we're getting more calls to report
suspicious people."
Police say tips from the program have
already led to several arrests.
Police say a major purpose of the
program is to help neighbors meet each other and meet their officers.
Police say tips from the program have
also led to felony drug charges for a man on parole. His name is not being
released right now.
