CHAPTER 1 September 11, 2001 and Civic Pride
_________________________________________________
When the World Trade Center in New York City was attacked on September 11, 2001, people all over the world were so frightened and so afraid of what was going to become of the future, and of their lives. I felt a sense of immediacy then, a need to do something at least for my community. President John F. Kennedy proclaimed in his inaugural speech, on January 20, 1961, “Ask not what your country can do for you--ask what you can do for your country .” That is also my firm belief and it is that conviction that took precedence as to what course my life would take.
In the 1970’s I was living with my mother in the beautiful affluent community of Aventura, in south Florida. I moved there from Brooklyn, New York, with hopes of starting a new life. This palatial new environment of palm trees, sunshine, and beaches did brighten my life, but for just a while. Prior to making the transition to Florida, I was told that a college friend had died tragically, which prompted my decision to leave Brooklyn. After about a year trying to adjust to this new lifestyle in Florida, I suffered another setback; I was told of the tragic news that my high school friend had died and I assumed it was from an overdose of d rugs.
I still hadn’t established a lifestyle or even any social acquaintances in Florida. I resorted to going out to nightclubs and joining an adult group at the Jewish Community Center. I felt out of place because the other members were much older than me. I then began to isolate myself, binge eating and binge drinking alcohol. My health started deteriorating, and my ability to function and to take care of myself was being compromised. I looked for family support but, having a family that was dysfunctional was very challenging, especially at that particular time.
Ten years later, then in my mid-thirties, I became motivated and joined a charitable organization. I had hoped that doing volunteer work would help boost my morale and self esteem. I was offered to join a charitable organization called Meals on Wheels. A team of us volunteers would deliver hot meals to senior individuals who were lacking food, clean clothing, and other necessities of life because of poverty and separation from their immediate families. To see the expression on some of these people’s faces was so sad; all alone in a dark motel room with a rancid odor and isolated from the outside world. This left a memorable impression with me that indoctrinated devotion in my life more towards humanity. I realized then, that helping the needy was spiritually and socially rewarding, and it has inspired me towards a more admirable way of life.
Realizing the benefits of charitable work I thought of contributing more productively to my community. So, I began to keep a daily journal of environmental hazards in my neighborhood and of the surrounding areas. When I noticed a city violation I’d call the appropriate agency or department. Then, either a field officer or an inspector would be assigned to the site. Maintaining the environment in Florida is crucial. Because of its vulnerability to lightning, brush fires, and drought, Florida residents should be more vigilant towards preventing fires. My efforts from my volunteer work were being rewarded by the noticeable differences in the communi ties:
1. Local roads were being repa ired
2. Vacant lots with overgrown weeds and laden with trash were cle ared
3. Unsafe structures were investig ated
4. Speed limit on a highway was reduced to a safer s peed
5. Traffic and street signs were repaired or repl aced
I learned that an average citizen, such as myself, can make a difference in the community, allow me to emphasize that statement. One bright Saturday morning I decided to go play basketball, so I drove a couple of miles to the nearest playground. Upon arriving, there was broken glass scattered all over the basketball court. I immediately went home to get a broom, dustpan, and trash bags to clean up the mess. After parking my car and getting out, I noticed bullets and firecrackers scattered all around by the entrance to the basketball court. Quickly, I went over to clean the area and proceeded to check the playground. I walked over to the sandbox and decided to check under the sand. As I sifted through it carefully, broken bottles of glass appeared. This was a disgrace! If something like this can happen here there’s the possibility that it could be occurring at other playgrounds, too.
I attended a town hall meeting to express my concern regarding the incident at the playground. I mentioned that a greater police presence was needed and furthermore, that substance abuse and alcohol abuse should not be tolerated at public places, especially where children play. After the meeting, I felt very proud of myself for I had accomplished what I set out to do: that was to raise awareness of the citizens, to the police, and also to the elected officials. This prompted me to think of the idea of a Drug Abuse Task Force. Its Objective is to reduce the prevalence of substance abuse at public areas suc h as:
• Public sch ools
• Playgro unds
• P arks
• Bea ches
The task force’s Goal would be to provide safer communities where families can work, children can play, and people can take pride in their communities. And, its Function is to patrol neighborhoods and observe suspicious activities suc h as:
• Rave parties --are the focus of rave culture, a youth-oriented subculture that blends music, art and social ideals. Rave culture also entails the use of a range of illicit d rugs.
• Abandoned houses or other unsafe structures --homeless people may use them for shelter and others may also frequent them to use drugs or to drink alc ohol.
• Hydroponic labs, growing marijuana indoors –the method of growing plants without soil , using mineral nutrient solutions in a water sol vent.
• Illegal drug activity --at parks, playgrounds, beaches, etc.
• Suspicious individuals prowling –near homes, businesses or private property that might be trespas sing.
• Graffiti –is a type of art genre that means writing or drawings made on a wall or other surfaces, usually without permission and within public view. It is considered by property owners and civic authorities as defacement and vandalism, which is a punishable c rime.
In 2011-2015, U.S. fire departments responded to an estimated average of 30,200 structure fires per year in vacant properties. These fires resulted in an average of 60 civilian deaths, 160 civilian injuries, and $710 million in direct property damage per year.
• Half of vacant building fires were intentionally set compared to 10% of all structure f ires.
• Vacant building fires reached a high point in 2007 and 2008 and have declined since 2012.
• An estimated average of 3,310 firefighters per year were injured at vacant building fires during 2011- 2015.

In order to have the Drug Abuse Task Force become a reality, participating with the Citizens Crime Watch group in my area would be beneficial. The group met at the local police station and discussed crime in the area and trends of criminal activity that were emerging. My intention was to develop a rapport with the Community Police Officers, with hopes that they would incorporate the Drug Abuse Task Force into their public safety stra tegy.
Community policing, or Community-Oriented Policing (COP ), is a strategy of policing that focuses on building ties and working closely with members of the communities. Community policing is, in essence, a collaboration between the police and the community that identifies and solves community problems. With the police no longer the sole guardians of law and order, all members of the community become active allies in the effort to enha
