Nothing makes a community safer than neighbors looking out for each other.
No longer can one agency, government body or community group function independently of another. The Villa, once known as the Galaxy, is a clear example of how community policing works. This renaissance is a testament to the personal responsibility of a hardy group of residents and merchants who stayed in the neighborhood and fought back against some of the city s worst crime. . Portland will be safer if we can go from strangerhood to neighborhood all across this great city. No matter how busy you are, no matter where you live, Neighbor Safe offers each resident of this city, concrete practical options for improving their safety.
