CENTRE - Good, toà ' 0f course, knowing what's normal in the neighbourhood and what isn't will require Miltonians to, get to know their neigbbours better, said Ms Martin- a side benefit of the program. Some of the things Milton Watch partic- ipants sbould watch out for are: somebody screaming, someone looking mbt building windows or parked cars, unusual noises. vebicles moving slowly with no apparent destination and property being taken ont of' bouses or businesses wben nobody s borne or the businesses are closed. Sorne people besitate calling police to report unusual activities becausc (bey worry tbey mîgbt bc wrong. Tlîey sbould- n't. said Ms Martin, and the prograrn s designed to put these worries 10 rest. "Police want information lromr the outset rather than baving to react to crime. No call s deeîned unimportant." she saîd. "Most people tbink if il's not an ernergency, it's not relevant. We wan Ionake it cear that il is relevant." She added that if if's a crime thats beîng reported, 911 is stili the numnber to caîl. A Milton Watch newsletter wîll bc dis- tributed two or tbree times eacb year, wbich will include tirnely lips on safety and property protection. 'Me ftrsî newslet- ters- wbicb describe the program in more detail - will bc distibuted tomorrow dur- ing the program's launcb aI the Farmers' Market. Ms Martin stressed that H-lton continues to be "one of the safest communities in Canada," but added that "Milton has its share of traffle violations, and crime does take place. If we pay attention, we can nip it in the bud." Ms Martin said shes optimistic the pro- gram will result in fewer crimes, particu- larly crimes of property. And she bopes the simplicity of thc program will appeal tc, Miltonians. "It's as simple as genting the information and being a good neighbour."
