Eliot School Organizes Volunteer Safety Patrol

After two gunpoint robberies last week, Abigail Norman, director of the Eliot School, is looking for volunteers to participate in a neighborhood watch and patrols.

“I would like to organize groups of neighbors and volunteers to stand out in the evenings,” Norman wrote in an email to the neighborhood Saturday. “As a school, our greatest need is during the periods around 6:30-7pm and 9-9:30pm when students travel to and from our classes. Sunset right now is around 5:40, so I imagine the neighborhood would like groups to be out starting around that time as people come home from work and after-school activities.”

To participate, email anorman@eliotschool.org.

Two victims were robbed at gunpoint in the Eliot Street neighborhood on consecutive nights last week.
