**NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH**
Starting a neighborhood watch is easy! Just email the Public Safety Committee at dsandman@ggpnc.org with your name, home address, email, and phone number. We will walk you through the steps of getting started and coordinate with the LAPD to schedule an officer to train your group. Download a helpful pamphlet.

**BEAT CAR THEFT WITH THE CLUB!**
LAPD Northeast officially started the Northeast "11 for 11" program. This is a Grand Theft Auto (GTA) reduction program where we will sell you an official "CLUB" steering wheel locking device for $11 (retails at $30 and above) if you pledge to spend the 11 seconds it takes to put the CLUB on your car!
Anyone interested in purchasing the CLUB can go to Northeast Station, 3353 San Fernando Road, Monday through Friday between 8 AM to 4 PM. As we are not a business, we ask that you have either the $11 in cash or make a check out to "BLEND." This is a one for one program - one CLUB for one person. We want to avoid someone walking into the station and buying 20 CLUBs - only to sell them on the street or at some swap meet for a profit. Remember, we are doing this to reduce auto crime. Thanks for your support!
