Springfield Police Chief explains about Sawyerwood Coalition

 


Some local residents have asked what the Reclaim Sawyerwood Coalition and Police Chief Jack Simone explains. 



The coalition is an opportunity to bring together Sawyerwood residents that have a desire to improve their community. 


The Reclaim Sawyerwood Coalition is a group of residents banding together to create a better neighborhood. Research shows that small changes can reduce crime, create a better sense of community, and increase overall safety. 

Community gatherings are one of the most effective tools in creating a safer neighborhood. 


 Reclaim Sawyerwood Coalition meets the first Saturday of each month at 10 a.m. at the Sawyerwood United Methodist Church, to discuss strategies and sharing information such as, scheduling a cleanup event to address any vacant spaces, since the abandon structures invite crime, house rodents and other pests in addition lower neighborhood real estate values. 

 

Simone explained, "Also, we can respectfully help members of the Sawyerwood Community. One of the programs resulted from our meetings was an Earth Day Event on Saturday April 23, 2022, to clean up litter, trash, and debris in the Sawyerwood community."    
To learn more on volunteer to help by visiting the department at 2465 Canfield Road or call 330-784-1609.
