Virtual Neighborhood Watch grant in Erie

[from Erie Blogs]

Erie County District Attorney Using Markham Winery Grant Funds To Create A Virtual Neighborhood Watch

Erie County District Attorney Jack Daneri will announce a cooperative effort between his office and the Mercyhurst College Institute for Intelligence Studies to provide every Erie County citizen with a virtual neighborhood watch alert network tomorrow, March 24, 2011 at 2:15 P.M. at the Mercyhurst College Institute for Intelligence Studies building at 3928 Wayne St., Erie, PA.

”The Markham Winery grant is allowing us to provide scholarship funds to Mercyhurst College students that participate in the monitoring of emergency radio traffic and then post the information to the “ErieAlerts” account on Twitter, where people can follow the activity on their smart phones or computers, says Daneri. This kind of program makes it very easy for each and every citizen of Erie County to become a member of the the neighborhood watch program and enhance our quality of life as one large community”.
