Lakewood Block Club Informational Meeting

The Lakewood Bock Club Program is alive and well thanks to Mayor Michael Summers, City council and the fifty-nine hard working Block Captains through out the city. Block Captains work hand in hand with Ward Police Officers, City Departments and the members of their clubs. We can thank these dedicated volunteers for helping keep their streets safer, cleaner and a friendlier place to live. They do their best to make the street they live on a "neighborhood" in the truest sense of the word. Criminal activity and nuisance issues can happen on any street. Block Captains keep problems to a minimum by informing all resident when suspicious behavior or nuisance activity is noticed by Club members. The more alert eyes on the block the safer that block will be. Ward Police Officers also help to educate residents about easy ways to prevent you from becoming a victim. Simple actions like: locking your doors, locking cars, keeping valuables out of cars when parked and keeping porch lights on at night will discourage the average criminal from making you his next target.

We will have an informational Block Club meeting at 7 p.m. on February 29, 2012 in the city hall auditorium at 12650 Detroit Road. If you want more information or are interested in helping form a Block Club on your street, stop in or contact Block Club Coordinator Mike Tuttle at 529-5567 or michael.tuttle@Lakewood.net.
