Crime Watch Ends
Citizens Play Cop
During the one year the
Citizens Crime Watch was in
existence the crime rate in
Rocky Mount dropped 25 per
cent. However, the citizens
crime watch was ended ap
proximately six months ago
because citizens were taking it
upon themselves to act as
policemen, according to Officer
W.V. Davis of the Rocky Mount
ruiicts Department.
The Citizens Crime Watch
was started in November 1975.
It was started by the Tar Heel
C. B. Club working jointly with
the Police Department. The
members of the CB Club would
report to the Police Depart
ment, giving their car make and
call number. They would
receive reflectors to put on the
side, front and back of their car.
This would distinguish them
from other cars so patroling
police cars would be able to tell
the difference.
The major job of these men
was to patrol the city looking for
suspicious people or cars. They
were not to pull for
speeding or anythii^ else. Once
he saw something suspicious,
such as a car parked behind
Belk’s at 3:00 in the morning,
the man was to radio the police
station. Then a policeman
would investigate.
