With budget cuts neighbors can step up

A proposed reduction of the number of deputies makes a big problem for Snohomish County Sheriff John Lovick. All of our people who aren’t familiar with the Block Watch program can now step up and help. We have had a Block Watch program for many years in our neighborhood and it works.

Please call the sheriff’s office and ask them how you can start a Block Watch. I am sure many citizens would like to help if they knew how.
