Canine Watch Forming for Neighborhood Safety

joyr

Neighborhood residents are forming KWT Canine Watch in response to the dozen or more nighttime sexual attacks against women that have taken place in the past six months.

This all-volunteer walking-home service will harness the power of neighbors who are already outside in the evening--people who are walking their dogs. But people who don't have dogs are also welcome to participate by pairing up with another KWT Canine Watcher.

Dog owners are being encouraged to walk their dogs near our local subway stations (both ends of the Fort Hamilton Parkway station and the Albemarle Road end of the Church Avenue station) and escort women home.

We need at least twenty committed dog walkers before the service can begin.

We also need volunteers to help us spread the word about KWT Canine Watch by distributing flyers and by talking about it at community meetings.

Please read Canine Watch Is Forming to Escort Women Home on the KARMABrooklyn blog for more details and to find out how to apply to be a volunteer.
