Welcome! As a new resident of LMHA, you are eligible to join the ranks of the Resident Assistance Watch (RAW) program. The program has been instituted at our highrises for the benefit of all residents. The RAW Program calls upon residents to assume greater responsibility for their buildings. Volunteers who participate in the program are expected only to observe and report. The volunteers are never expected to intervene in situations where their personal safety is threatened. Intervention is the job of the Police Department. The RAW Patrol, under supervision and in proper RAW attire, patrol designated areas of the buildings and grounds. They are visible and identify safety hazards, “hot” spots, major building problems, resident problems and report information. Resident patrols are considered to be the eyes and ears of the community. Under no circumstances should resident patrols look upon themselves as providing a “police” service to the building residents. Therefore, resident patrols do not intervene in fights or drug transactions, get involved in domestic or any other type of disputes, physically restrain anyone or carry any type of weapon. As a new resident in the building, you can join and become a doer and take responsibility for the place you live in. Remember this is your HOME - a place to make friends and to assist one another. If you are interested in becoming a member of your building RAW Patrol or wish more information about the program, please contact me at my office.
