My name is Jeff Bennett. I’m the Crime Watch coordinator for Claremont Addition. I support FRI because of their effectiveness and their efforts in reducing crime. FRI has generated new Crime Watches and VIP programs as well as strengthened existing ones. FRI includes the Dallas Police Department in community meetings. They keep us informed of crime stats and crime prevention programs. By mobilizing residents to work together, they’ve helped reduce serious crime incidents by half in target areas.
