NWD/Western Crime Walk - Safety, One door at a time.

 

Annually, each Detroit Police District hosts a Community Crime Walk. DCJP participated in and sponsored the “Great” Northwestern Detroit Police District’s Crime Walk June 23, 2007. In addition, DCJP was a proud partner and sponsor of the Western District’s Crime Walk on July 14, 2007. During both events, hundreds of Detroit residents, community activists, and community organizations partnered with the District Police to walk door-to-door distributing community resource bags and educating residents of the current crime prevention efforts that are being implemented each district. The bags contained a host of crime prevention resources, health care screening information, and community resource information. The walk concluded with a rally that was designed to empower residents to take pride in their communities and serve as the front line of defense for crime prevention by starting block clubs and maintaining open lines of communication with the police. The events were family-focused and definitely had a positive impact on the community.
