Partner with MOCSA for a neighborhood safety walkthrough. MOCSA will also help neighborhood groups with projects that increase community safety. Find out more about Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design. If you have questions or would like to start a project, contact Maddie Dumbell at mdumbell@mocsa.org.

Neighborhood groups are responsible for purchasing their own signs, and hanging them on existing posts. According to the UG Street Department, because these are not regulatory signs, they do not put them up.

There are several locations online to order these signs from, here are a couple of links:

• National Neighborhood Watch Institute
• SafetySign.com

Livable Neighborhoods encourages you to adopt-a-spot! It’s a great way to keep our community litter-free and show that someone cares for a space. (You’ll even get to put a cool sign for your neighborhood group placed there). Tell me more about the Adopt-A-Spot program.
