What's on the Agenda?
SPECIAL NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH &
PUBLIC SAFETY / CRIME PRESENTATIONS
We'll welcome experienced
Neighborhood Watch
coordinators -- Cyndi Hench / Westchester and Kathy Morgan / Brentwood -- who will provide tips on how to form Neighborhood Watch groups and discuss how we can benefit from establishing them.  We'll also hear from LAPD SLO Brian Espin, who will join to discuss
public safety and crime prevention.
We urge all Palisades stakeholders -- residents in HOA areas, those in areas without HOAs (e.g., the Alphabet Streets, Via Mesa/Bluffs and El Medio Bluffs), and even businesses -- to attend and learn about the "how to's" and benefits of organizing a Neighborhood Watch group for your area or block!
-- We'll also have updates about the annual
PPCC Awards
nominations
process and the
December Awards Gala event!
