Take down old neighborhood watch signs

At a recent VNA meeting, KCPD Officer Schriever asked Volkerites to take down old Neighborhood Watch signs. Signs that are rusted, faded, defaced, etc. do nothing to deter crime.  In fact, they send a signal to criminals that people aren't watching, and are letting a neighborhood deteriorate.  This actually invites crime into the neighborhood.

Removing defunct signs reinforces our recent efforts to cleanup graffiti and improve the overall appearance of the neighborhood. VNA is pursuing funds to purchase new signs, but in the mean time please feel free to remove any old signs that you see.  The police department gives us permission and encourages us to go ahead and do it.
