Mount Greenwood Neighborhood Watch?

MTGP has reviewed some of the comments and someone posted that they are willing to assist or setup a neighborhood watch for the community. They seem to be encouraging those willing to setup a Mount Greenwood Neighborhood Watch, or to participate in one, to attend a Garfield Ridge neighborhood watch meeting.


  • I will have information on THE NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH and a friend who helped set up the one in 008 so if you are interested SHOW UP AT THE MEETING please
  • Here is the garfield ridge neighborhood watch .

    The next Garfield Ridge Neighborhood Watch (GRNW) meeting is Monday, May 17th , 7:30 pm @ Wentworth Park (downstairs)

MTGP is not claiming that Garfield Ridge has all the answers to how to protect a neighborhood, but they do have something started. The one thing that MTGP feels that we would need to start a neighborhood watch is a name. Someone willing to step forward and put their name out there as the person who organizes such a project. Once that person steps forward, we as a community would have to support and rally around such an individual. Again, MTGP is more than willing to help promote this on the blog and out staff may participate in the watch program, but we cannot be the lead on this, even though we want to. Refer to previous post as to reasons why.

I will be attending the GRNW meeting on monday. If you are truely interested PLEASE if you can attend the meeting. It does take some work and commitment but if it means saving our neighborhood then it shouldn't be a problem. I want a neighborhood that my kids will want to come back to and raise their kids.

Just as an FYI, there are some police officers who drive a paddy wagon (sp?) who do not live in the neighborhood driving around the neighborhood looking to give parking tickets - for plate violations, stickers, parked the wrong way, etc. They have been around during the hours of 4:30 - 9:30 p.m. Just a heads up. I actually watched them ticket cars without even getting out of the truck!!! Don't think they are Mt. Greenwood residents.

I think many are worried about the legal ramifications. They get sued by the citizens at work,simply doing their job. Any legal protection?

Easy solution-Make sure you park legally, and you have current plates and stickers. At least there is some Police presence in the hood.

I agree. All of your plates and tags should be up to date and now that I have to pay $25 per car for the permit parking can't say that I am upset about cars getting ticketed by me. If you have to park on my block,ask me for a temp. tag.
