Get involved in the P.A.C.T Neighborhood Watch. Our neighborhood watch is a huge success, and growing all the time. Because of one of our watchful neighbors, it helped catch these people. This is a heroine dealer who broke into these homes during the day. Heroine is a serious business. Pay attention to your surroundings at all times. Watch out for each other, get to know each other.
