Commending citizens' participation

The Fallbrook Citizens’ Crime Prevention Committee (FCCPC) is calling on leaders of this community to encourage organizational members, friends and neighbors to attend the upcoming crime prevention meeting on March 30, 2011 at the Fallbrook Library, Community Room, 7 to 8:30 p.m.

The level of our citizens’ dedication and involvement in crime prevention has proven to be successful in affecting gang activity and decreasing crime. As a community, our vigilance needs to continue. It is important that residents receive current information on gang crime from experts like our speaker, Lt. Michael R. Barnett, Station Commander, Fallbrook Sheriff Substation. He will be speaking on “Gang Presence & Gang Crime.”

We commend the Village News for keeping our citizens updated on local crime and knowledgeable of new programs being introduced by law enforcement.

We would like to thank you, the reader, for your leadership in assisting FCCPC and law enforcement to help make Fallbrook a safer place for everyone to live. Let us be mindful of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Pat Braendel, President
