If we do not maintain Justice, Justice will not maintain us. ~ Francis Bacon
Crime prevention, deterrence and displacement are part of proactive policing along with interdicting criminal behavior and arresting violators. The community is encouraged to take ownership in reporting suspicious activity, so 'See It, Hear It, Report It!' is a key catch phrase for the Parsons' community. Without community ownership and involvement (including individuals, schools, business community and neighborhoods), we cannot hope to 'ZERO Out' crime in Parsons.
