Operation Save Our Families

By Angela Beamon

This is a detailed description of just one of my plans to approach the violence and crimes taking place in our streets.

OSOF is a program which takes a Pro-active approach to diminishing the amount of crime taking place in our communities. It directly addresses several key areas in the cycle of criminal activity, including economic disparities, educational impairments, and social barriers. This program was designed to strategically intervene on groups who have been identified as having a higher percentage of criminal involvement, and addressing the challenges that they face head on, in a concerted effort to diminish the chances of the continued cycle of crime.

We are calling on all Community Leaders, friends, family members of the victims of violent crimes, concerned citizens, and concerned parents of our youth and teens who are potential victims of crimes, in collaboration with law enforcement officials to join us in what we call a City Wide Camp Out against Crime (COAC).

(COAC) is a facet of Operation Save our families that approaches criminal activities Pro-Actively to deter these senseless crimes from ever occurring in our communities, by having participants strategically placed in groups at locations of high criminal activities for two twelve hour camp out periods beginning Friday night at 9:00pm thru 9:00am Saturday morning and a repeat session Saturday night throughout Sunday morning.

This effort will provide visibility of concerned citizens in larger groups where our law enforcement have identified high criminal activity areas. We are asking that every concerned citizen who is physically able to participate come out and support this effort. It will only be successful if the numbers are on our side. Our law enforcement officers simply cannot be everywhere every minuet and it is time for the citizens to be diligent in our efforts to assist them in the fight to take back our streets and ultimately save our Families.
