THE GRANT RUNS FROM OCTOBER 31, 1978 TO OCTOBER 31, 1979, AND COSTS $2.26 PER CITIZEN OF MEQUON, WIS. GOAL OF THE MEQUON CRIME PREVENTION PROJECT IS TO REDUCE THE RATE OF BURGLARY AND THEFT AND INCREASE CLEARANCE FOR BOTH CRIMES.

MEQUON'S ARREST RATE FOR THEFT, ITS MOST COMMON PROPERTY CRIME, WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN FOR THE STATE. CRIME PREVENTION-PROJECT ACTIVITIES HAVE FOCUSED ON LOCAL SCHOOLS, BUSINESSES, AND CONSTRUCTION SITES. MEETINGS HAVE BEEN HELD; PAMPHLETS ENTITLED OPERATION ID AND HOW TO BUNGLE A BURGLARY HAVE BEEN PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED TO CITIZENS; AND BIMONTHLY RADIO BROADCAST ENTITLED COP SHOP IS BEING PRODUCED, AND SECURITY SURVEYS ARE BEING CONDUCTED. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES NOTED IN THE ORIGINAL GRANT PROPOSAL BUT NOT YET UNDERTAKEN INCLUDE A CRIME PREVENTION COMMITTEE, NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, WATCH ON WHEELS, AND DEVELOPMENT OF A SCHOOL-LEVEL COURT FOR STUDENT OFFENDERS.
