Question

Write an essay on how to ensure safety in the neighborhood

Answer 1

Here is your essay.


Start a Neighborhood Watch Program

Get a group of neighbors who are interested in participating in a neighborhood watch program together and make each member responsible for a certain task. Tasks could be as simple as knowing where neighbor’s cars are parked, what time kids walk to the school bus in the mornings and afternoons, or having neighbors who stay home during the day look out for suspicious activity. Have monthly meetings to make sure your neighbors know their tasks, make them aware of changes, and report abnormal activity that could be watched more closely.

Know Your Neighbors

Remember when everyone in the neighborhood seemed to be friends with your parents? While it may not be that simple anymore, knowing your neighbors’ names, having small chats with them about the neighborhood, or even becoming friends is helpful in gaining trust. Get to know your neighbors’ children as well. It is more than likely that children in your neighborhood close in age will hang out together. Let your trusted neighbors know if you are going out of town, so they can monitor your home for any unwanted activity while you are away. These neighbors’ homes can also be a safe haven for your children in the case of emergency.

Street Safety

If your kids often play in the street in front of your house (if you have a lower traffic neighborhood) or in your driveway, make sure drivers are aware that your children may be playing in the immediate area by putting up brightly colored “Children Playing” signs. This will warn drivers to be cautious and slow down and also serve as a marker for your children on how far out they are allowed to play. Through the neighborhood watch, you can also make it known that speeding through the neighborhood is unacceptable and dangerous.
