San Francisco Peaks Coconino County

Flagstaff AZ (October 30, 2012) – Coconino County Sheriff Bill Pribil and District 4 Supervisor Mandy Metzger would like to invite residents of Flagstaff’s Doney Park community to attend the monthly Neighborhood Watch meeting on Thursday, November 1, 2012.

The neighborhood watch meeting will be held from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Cromer School, 7150 East Silver Saddle Road, Flagstaff.

Sheriff Pribil will be at the meeting to encourage continued neighborhood participation and to share information. Doney Park Community Deputies will be available to answer questions and provide support to this partnership between law abiding citizens, law enforcement, and their county government. 

Jane Nicoletti-Jones, Chief Charging Attorney for the Coconino County Attorney’s Office, will be present to answer general questions about the Coconino County Attorney’s Office. She will speak specifically about Arizona State statutes that address self-defense issues and situations when a homeowner believes that they or loved ones are in immediate danger of serious or life threatening injuries, or death from an intruder. 

Neighborhood Watch is similar to the Block Watch Program commonly conducted in urban areas and goes back to the concept of “Neighbors looking out for neighbors” that many people may recall from thirty years ago.

Neighborhood Watch programs are one of the most effective ways to prevent and deter criminal activity, attend to home and personal security, address the safety of our children and our elderly, and to alleviate fear and isolation.

Residents will learn how to observe and report suspicious activity, and reduce the risk of becoming a crime victim. 

For more information and the meeting schedule, please call the Coconino County Sheriff’s Office at 928-226-5089. Visit the SedonaEye.com Calendar of Events daily for this and other Out and About Arizona events.
