💪🏽 River Park Patrol Needs You!
🚨 Help Keep River Park Safe – Join Our Neighborhood Watch! 🚨
Help keep our community safe as Paradise Beach reopens. We’re seeking 10–12 volunteers to patrol Friday and Saturday nights (10pm–midnight) from May to August. You can also get involved by walking, jogging, or driving through the neighborhood at other times. Patrols are flexible and divided into three manageable areas. Just 2–3 patrols a month and a few short meetings per year make a big difference.
Report any issues like underage drinking, vandalism, or homelessness, and help us work with local police to keep River Park safe.
Contact Rex Hesock at (916) 214-1623 or rbandit@aol.com, or email riverparkpatrol@aol.com to get involved!

The next meeting is Thursday, August 21st, at 7:30 pm at Fremont Presbyterian Church Rm #E211.
