The region has seen an increase in juvenile crime. The CHPD is working hard to keep our neighborhoods safe. Over the last three years alone, we have initiated the Neighborhood Watch Program, Meet you Police every Thursday from 6:00-8:00PM at City Hall, created the Community Response Unit, a bicycle patrol unit, a facebook and twitter presence and many more initiatives.
In our ongoing efforts to make Cleveland Heights the safest inner ring suburb in the County, we have now created a juvenile diversion/mentoring program. This program will give at-risk youths the opportunity to change their path from the "wrong road" to a life of positive opportunity. Click on the 60 second video to hear my public comments on this new program.
Is there information available how one can volunteer to help with this program? We in the north end of Cleve. Hts. recently suffered two violent attacks on our neighbors by youth and at a recent community meeting several voices were interested in just such diversion programs. We are motivated to help! Please tell us how!
