APD cracks down on apartment crime
October 22, 2009
AUSTIN (KXAN) – An APD program is helping to fight crime inside Austin apartment complexes by encouraging residents to report suspicious activity.
It’s called the AROW program and it is short for Apartment Residents on Watch. It works like a neighborhood crime watch with a captain for each apartment building.
Residents meet once a month to talk about crime concerns and report those concerns to police. Austin police have implemented the program at several complexes in the East Riverside area and say they are seeing success.
