The Crime Watch Workshop on January 27th was very well attended (about 120), and had a lot of good information provided by presenters. A tremendous amount of thanks go out to the many people who organized, promoted, and presented at the workshop. A special thanks goes out to our host, the South Bay Community Church, and our community volunteer presenters: Martin Umbenhower, Sunil Mehta and Jan Giovanninni-Hill.
