Sterling PD, NJC Team for Neighborhood Watch in Dorms

The Sterling Police Department and Northeastern Junior College’s Department of Residence Life have joined forces to bring Neighborhood Watch to the residence halls located on campus. According to Whitney DeSanti, director of residence life, NJC has already had a similar program in effect, but this new initiative formalizes the agreement between NJC and the police department. Under this agreement, Neighborhood Watch signs will be posted at all NJC residence halls. Additionally, Officer Warren Sica, the Neighborhood Watch coordinator for the Sterling Police Department, will provide training to all resident assistants at the start of the fall and spring semesters.
