Some inexpensive personal safety devises. It is not the solution, however it could help.

For those who are afraid of dogs OFF lead. This could come in handy for joggers and children? Supervision and common sense would need to be applied.

Personal alarms for delivery workers or individuals that need to walk the streets at night.
Employers could make a tax claim if they were to purchase similar devises for staff.

This devise could also be used for your dog.

I hope these items help. It could be an idea for someone to purchase them and display them at neighborhood watch meetings. It would be a better idea if the Community Policing Unit of JCPD was to present them or similar, as a positive way of improving public relations.

Stupid "yoots." I just hope the delivery guy escaped unharmed.

Greenville Chinese food deliveryman robbed by youths

Wednesday, February 21, 2007

A Chinese food deliveryman was robbed by at least two juveniles Monday night, but cops were only able to arrest one of them, Jersey City Police Director Samuel Jefferson said.

According to Jefferson, the deliveryman dropped off food to one of the juveniles in the vestibule of a Fowler Avenue apartment. But the juvenile, along with at least one other accomplice, followed the deliveryman out of the building and yanked the wallet from his back pocket, Jefferson said.

The deliveryman was able to identify one of the suspects - a 14-year-old from Warner Avenue - who was found with Chinese food and $94, Jefferson said.

The 14-year-old was charged with robbery, though police continue to investigate the incident and expect other juveniles to be arrested, Jefferson said.
