COMMUNITY POLICING UNIT

Serving our Seniors

The Community Policing Unit is in the process of starting a program called “SOS”. The “Serving Our Seniors” program will involve area youth that will be for hire to assist our seniors and/or disabled residents with tasks such as mowing lawns, shoveling snow, painting fences or other chores that kids might do.

The Police Departments only job will be to match up teenagers looking for work with the seniors or disabled persons wanting to hire them.

Everything else that needs to be arranged, including price negotiations, tools and equipment needed to do the job, scheduling, etc. is then left up to the teenager and the person he or she is working for.

It will be a way for seniors to meet and hire teenagers from their neighborhoods who are willing to shovel snow, mow lawns, run errands or do other small jobs.

It will be a way for teenagers who want to earn some extra cash to be put in touch with the senior’s citizens or disabled persons from their neighborhoods who want to hire them.

Everyone should remember that the purpose of the program is to provide a service both to the senior and disabled persons seeking to hire assistance and for area youth looking for employment.

Youth should remember that the seniors they may be dealing with will be on a fixed income, so please be fair with your pricing.

Customers should remember that for many area youth involved, this is their first experience in the world of entrepreneur ship, so please be fair with your pricing.

Teenagers who sign up for the program will be given the name and telephone number of the senior or disabled person who wishes to hire them. The youth should then call the customer and find out what type of work needs to be done. They can schedule the work, find out what equipment is needed, and get an idea on how much they will be paid. Teenagers should also visit the customer’s house to verify exactly how big the job will be.

Most importantly, teenagers and customers alike should always remember to be fair honest and loyal to one another.

Customers should not work with anyone unless they have received their name from the SOS program.

This program is still in the preliminary stages. Please contact any member of the Community Policing Unit with any suggestions or comments.

If there is a strong interest in the program, information on registering will be posted on this web page.
