Roatan Crime Watch Program



We have a great local group called Roatan Crime Watch that has raised money and is giving our police force some badly needed tools to help them improve. Currently some of the most basic crime fighting tools (transportation and communication) are in serious need. The Roatan Crime Watch has and is raising money to purchase and then donate to the Roatan police force refurbished police cruisers and a professional secure police radio system. Currently officers often have to wait for taxis or other folks to pick them up to get to places and they use cel phones at there own cost to communicate. We have reached about 75% of our funding goal currently and that money has been stretched far to get some tools. As you can see in the pictures the refurbished cruisers look great and the communication equipment will be really helpful. The mobile office in the cars will allow officers to run id numbers and check on folks much more efficiently. Its a great organization that I think is going to really help our island stay safe for years to come. You can learn more at http://www.roatancrimewatch.com/projectsecure/

I hope this project also helps solve and prevent crimes against the Honduran community. i.e. the people that can't afford the get out of jail free police decals (or cars to put them on) or give the officers an incentive ($$$) to investigate the crimes against the aforementioned group. If you decide not to publish this comment, I don't blame you. Everything looks better with rose colored glasses...
