handicapped persons. The Sheriff's Department is
gathering some figures and estimates to set up the
program.

implemented in January of 1992. The program's objective
is to follow up on domestic violence calls.
-"Are you ok?" Program has been implemented. The program
is designed to do a daily computerized check on the
homebound and senior citizens.
- Block Watch groups are growing. Due to the fear of '
having new people come over their house for their block
watch meetings, the Sheriff's Department is allowing
residents to meet at the Sheriff's Athletic League. �
Negotiations are also being made with the Lynwood Unified I
School District to possibly use one of their offices for ,

� Yolanda Bay�nquired about the area �und Wilson School
1 (Lynwood Road and School Street). She mentioned that a
child was killed a month ago in that area. She would like
to see more stop signs and crossing guards in that area.
Also, in the corner of Fernwood and Fir, there are stop
signs, but no crossing guards nor speed limit signs. Sgt.
Slawson will request more patrol for the above areas during
after-school hours. In order to get stop signs and speed
limit signs, the request has to be made to the Traffic and
Parking Commission.
Ann Fields also asked to investigate the area between Thorn
Street and Carlin Street. She said that children are let
out of cars to go to school, and being a heavy-traffic area,'
the children are in danger of being hit by a car.
Barbara Newton suggested having all schools patrolled during
before and after school hours. Sgt. Sam Silva, from the
Traffic Division will be notified.
