Next Neighborhood Watch Meeting Place

If anyone knows of a place we can use for our next NW meeting, please advise ASAP. We are desperately looking for someplace for July 8th (tentative and between hours of 7-9pm). Firehouse District Building is $50 and library only holds 20 people (room that is available that night). Local churches have turned us down. We do not want to burden anyone with having it at their home and we have a group of 50+ people.

Our only other choice may be to have it in Dorchester Park itself...bring a lawn chair. This would only be for the summer months of July and August due to Cayuga Elementary being closed for the summer. We also tried Lake Grove Town Hall and that was a no also.


Any suggestions are welcome.

Many thanks,

Your Neighborhood Watch Committee

Suffolk County Police General Community Meeting

Just a reminder that next Community Meeting at the 4th Precinct is this Wed. June 30th at 7pm. Hope some of you can make it. If not we will see you at the Neighborhood Watch Meeting (still to be advised; should know more details in a few days & blog will be updated).

Neighborhood Watch Update 06.20.10

Our initial "Starting a Neighborhood Watch" meeting was a success to say the least. We had a very nice turn-out of folks in our community that are interested in doing whatever they can to help better our living environment for our families and make this a safer community overall.

Your Captain's are working diligently with the Suffolk County Police Department's COPE Unit.

There were two(2) arrests in Dorchester park in May by the SCPD (drug related and assault related).

Out initial "Dorchester Park Meeting" with Brookhaven Town's Park Maintenance officials also was a success. We met with Tom Owens, Deputy Commissioner of Parks and Louis Tsunsis, Executive Assistance to Park Maintenance Department. Ed Morris, Commissioner did not attend as he was supposed to.

Kathleen Walsh, Councilwoman has also been called upon to help our community, especially with Dorchester Park improvements. Someone from her office will be attending the next Community Meeting at the 4th Precinct on June 30th @7pm.

We are in the midst of securing a place for our next Neighborhood Watch Meeting...TBA.

As advised above, our next Community Meeting @ the 4th Precinct is on June 30th @ 7pm.

We are also working with Brookhaven Town's Public Safety/ Code Enforcement and Park Rangers very diligently. We have will most likely be having two(2) Park Rangers at our next Neighborhood Watch Meeting to talk to us as well as SCPD. FYI: Park Rangers have made two(2) arrests as well (seperate incidents) and also handed out Loitering fines and open alcohol fines in this month (June) so far.

We look forward to working with all of you as we take back our Neighborhood. (We have 51 people that came to both meetings (NW Meeting and Park Meeting) combined).
