1st
Quarter 2010 WGNA meeting news 2/8/10 Ken Agee
The 1st
quarter WGNA meeting was held on Tue 1/26/10 per the normal cycle of meetings
(7PM on the 4th Tuesday of the months of January, April, July, and
October). Minutes of the meeting will be
published later.
The meeting had such good attendance (40-45 neighbors) that
we met in the larger upstairs room at The ROC instead of the normal downstairs
room. District 6 Councilwoman
The officers were promoting the C.O.P. program, which stands for Citizens On Patrol. This is a great way to contribute to your local community (and you can see directly how your contribution counts!)
Barby Dike is a big booster of this program, and
points out that our police department was very much involved with the
apprehension of at least 25 people involved in a drug ring centered on the
high-schools of Garland & Rowlett.
Heroin was being distributed and used by these kids, and there is no
doubt that the GPD wouldn’t have been nearly as effective as they were without
the help of citizens and the C.O.P.
