What Sheriff Scott Jones Has To Say About Public Safety
According to Sheriff Jones, we are in the midst of a paradigm shift. Due to the current economic times, the Sheriff’s Department can no longer be the sole proprietor of public safety. Communities must take ownership of their own public safety. The Sheriff has said:
“Whether geographic or ethnic or religious – however a community is defined – they need to have ownership of their own public safety in cooperation with us (the Sheriff’s Department). That involves neighborhood watch programs. That involves me (Sheriff Jones) exploding our volunteer forces – not only in the numbers and in the traditional roles – but finding completely new ways of utilizing volunteers to help out officers.”
In view of this, it is time for Rosemont residents to become proactive in collective efforts to fight crime and ensure our own safety – the Neighborhood Watch program is one way to do that.
