New online group for West Seattle Blockwatch Captains’ Network

| Crime | Safety | West Seattle news

In the WSB Forums, there’s been talk of forming a network for Block Watch captains in West Seattle – since there’s no official way for them to communicate right now, they’re launching an informal organization. Several met to talk in person Monday afternoon – then at Tuesday night’s West Seattle Crime Prevention Council meeting, the next step was announced: A Facebook group is now set up to organize the West Seattle Blockwatch Captains’ Network. If you head up a Block Watch in West Seattle, go here to join. They’re not trying to set up a new place to report crime, but rather, to bring West Seattle neighborhoods together to prevent it. (Don’t have a Block Watch? Form one with the help of SPD Southwest Precinct Crime Prevention Coordinator Benjamin Kinlow – go here.) More from last night’s meeting, including the latest local crime trends, later this morning.

I think it is worth pointing out to all the wonderful West Seattle BW Captains that this effort to organize a Network has the support of the following:

Southwest Precinct of the Seattle Police Department, the West Seattle Crime Prevention
Council and Benjamin Kinslow, the city of
Seattle Crime Prevention Coordinator for the SW Precinct.
