Calder, Morehead call for block watches
Yale students alarmed by recent shootings in surrounding neighborhoods may soon be asked to join other community members in being more proactive about ensuring their own safety.
In the wake of three shootings in the city last Monday night, Ward 2 Alderwoman Gina Calder ’03 EPH ’08 and Ward 22 Alderman Greg Morehead called on Friday for increased cooperation between the University and the city’s law-enforcement agencies to enhance neighborhood safety.
As usual everyone else is to blame. Why do I have to fear groups of 13 year olds on the street at 2:00 am? And why should Yale be responsible for city streets? We barely see our own police never mind New Haven, not that you actually want to run into them.
