Watch Signs

I found a few of the new neighborhood watch signs that have been posted around Shelby. Thought you might be interested.

The 49 new signs (at $24 apiece) were paid for by Shelby Police and grant money from the city's Project Safe Neighborhood and Weed and Seed efforts.

Police say the signs do deter crime but only if those in the neighborhood are vigilant in calling officers if they see suspicious activity. A street could have a dozen signs but if residents don't watch out for each other crime will continue.

The sign above is found on East Graham Street. The second can be found on Beaumonde Avenue.
