The Robbinsdale Crime Prevention Association became incorporated on January 13, 1987. The organization was formed to provide crime prevention education, a reward fund, and "buy" money.

Members have been actively involved in National Night Out, Block Watches, Public Safety open houses, as well as providing programs and literature for elementary schools.  Members played an important role in the success of the referendums required to build the new Public Safety Building. The statues in front of the Public Safety building are also a result of the RCPA's efforts.

MEETING SCHEDULE

All meetings are held at the Robbinsdale Public Safety Building, 4101 Hubbard Avenue North. Listed below is the meeting schedule for 2008:

The agenda is open and informal. A representative of the Police Department is present to give the latest in crime trends throughout the City.

BLOCK WATCH

Block Watches are neighbors working together to be alert and look out for each other. They distribute crime prevention materials, educate residents, and take action to deter crime. When illegal or suspicious activity is occurring, neighbors inform the police.

Interested in starting a Block Watch? Contact Officer Jonathan West at (763) 531-1220.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT

National Night Out is celebrated across the United States on the first Tuesday in August. This night shows the strength of citizen involvement in crime prevention. On this night in August, block clubs, apartment clubs, and other citizen groups hold special events throughout the metropolitan area.

For holding a National Night Out party on your block, contact Detective Jonathan West at (763) 531-1220.
