Brockton Park Monitor Service

About this campaign

I want to start a park monitor service in the city of Brockton, Massachusettsas a way of providing a piece of mind to the residents that when they take their child(ren) to the park they can feel safe when doing so. The reason is to bring the parks back to being a social gathering point for all residents of Brockton. The service would be staffed mostly with volunteers who would receive first aid training from the American Red Crossif they would be interested in helping out with the service, but also volunteers would also be trained in conflict resolution to be able to deescalate a sitution so the Brockton Police Departmentdoesn't have to be called out to the area. Mayor Bill Carpentertalks about trying to make the parks safer and the same goes for Jacob L. Tagger Jr. for Mayorboth of whom want to make the city safe. Under the Park Monitor Service that could happen and the city wouldn't have to spend much money as it would be funded by donations from the public and residents of the city. Each park in the city will get a small booth that would house medical supplies and sports equipment like Basketballs, Soccer balls, etc... They would also have bottles of water in the summer which would be free for anyone who asks for one. There would be only one paid position which is the person who sits in the booth the people who walk around the park would be local volunteers who live near the park so most of the people who visit the park would know them and would be more likely to ask for help and feel safe.
