More on Erie Alert:

A Quest for a Safer Community

Erie County, PA, is not much different from most counties throughout the United States; a combination of urban, suburban and rural areas with an increasing aging population and, unfortunately, a rising fear of crime. The largest municipality within the county is the City of Erie with a population of approximately 100,000 people. Published poverty statistics place the City of Erie as the poorest city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Recently, the city has been besieged by gun-related violence perpetrated by youths. This escalation of violence has significantly impacted the quality of life for middle age and senior citizens who no longer feel safe in their own homes and neighborhoods.

Erie County Chief Detective Larry D. has created the ErieAlert.Com website to assist neighborhood watch groups to inform everyone in the County of Erie of safety-related events and to facilitate pride in law enforcement by selecting a police officer of the month. ErieAlert.com also uses Twitter under the name of "eriealerts" to provide nearly real time information on police calls to people that follow "eriealerts" on their computer and smart phones. ErieAlert.com and "eriealerts" on Twitter are staffed by volunteer efforts.

In a quest for a safer community ErieAlert would like to receive a grant to purchase police radios for neighborhood watch captains to have direct communications with police departments and officers, offer criminal justice scholarships to select students willing to post crime information on "eriealerts" after listening to a supplied police scanner, and make ErieAlert.com a more interactive website for everyone concerned about the Erie County quality of life. All citizens, especially our senior citizens, deserve to feel safe in their community. Technology and volunteers can clearly assist in making Erie County a safer community.

Thanks, 1 week left to vote now. Erie alert is only 1% behind now. Please vote daily if you can.

Funny how both are from CA wineries.

Good luck AZT this year!

Thank you to everyone who voted. My Father-In-Law was able to win one of the $25K Community Grants! They gave out two of them, I hadn't noticed that until the last day. Good thing as they didn't come in 1st.

Again, thanks to all who voted!
