Past, current and future block captains can learn how to organize their neighborhoods for crime prevention and emergency preparedness at a class hosted by the Bellevue Office of Emergency Management.
The class will feature talks from Emergency Management staff and Crime Prevention police officers about getting prepared for disasters and protecting your house from crime. Attendees will also learn from Bellevue Citizen Corps Council representatives how you can combine these two concepts when organizing your neighborhood.
Residents will have the opportunity to engage in a facilitated discussion about neighborhood organizing programs and what city officials can do to improve them. The free class will be offered three times, 7-9 p.m. at:
- Bellevue Library, Monday, May 18;
- Lake Hills Library, Tuesday, May 19; and
- Newport Way Library, Wednesday, May 27.
This is a great opportunity to socialize with like-minded individuals around the topic of preparedness and/or crime prevention and become a trusted public safety partner with the City of Bellevue.
