District COP to generate participation from residents in the target area. The COP had been <br />unsuccessful in gaining acceptance of the program by residents despite various outreach <br />efforts. The COP also utilized the resources of the Santa Ana Police Department and other <br />city agencies. <br /> <br />These community resource groups include: <br /> <br />FLOWER STREET PARK NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION: This neighborhood <br />association was developed in November, 1994 with the purpose of organizing the <br />residents of the Flower Street Park neighborhood as part of the final phases of <br />Operation Round-Up. Residents attended meetings where they identified problems in <br />their neighborhood, such as the lack of jobs for youths, vacant and abandoned <br />properties, continued safety in the park and neighborhood, recreation and other <br />positive alternative activities, and child care. <br /> <br />ARTESIA-PILAR NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION: This neighborhood <br />association is served by E1 Salvador Park which has had a long history of gang <br />involvement and drug trafficking much like Flower Street Park. The Association has <br />been involved in a continuous effort to overcome the negative perception of the park <br />and surrounding neighborhood. The problems identified by this association were very <br />similar to the Flower Street Park Neighborhood Association, and both organizations <br />expressed the desire for a safer community. <br /> <br />PROJECT SABADO: This community-based organization uses an environmental <br />prevention approach to reduce and/or prevent alcohol and other drug problems in the <br />City of Santa Aha. Project SABADO (Santa Aha Broad-based Alcohol and Drug <br />Organization) promotes healthy community environments through family involvement <br />and educational and mobilization activities in 'neighborhoods, shopping places, <br />schools, workplaces, and church groups. It works with all parts of the community to <br />improve the day to day life of residents. <br /> <br />CARVER CONCERNED PARENTS: A group of parents who were tired of the <br />harrassment and verbal and physical abuse by public inebriates against children <br />travelling to and from Carver Elementary School formed "Padres al Cuidado de Ninos <br />Carver" or "Carver Concerned Parents". Their goal was to reduce the problems <br />associated with high alcohol consumption and to make their community safe for their <br />children. This parent group began networking with law enforcement and other City <br />agencies as well as with private businesses and community based organizations in the <br />immediate area. Children are now being safely escorted to and from school and the <br />parents of Carver School are becoming educated and building alliances in order to <br />fully take back their neighborhood. <br /> <br />COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING/WESTEND: Various policing districts <br />within the City of Santa Aha have organized COP programs which involve <br />Neighborhood Watch activities. These activities include educational and awareness <br /> <br /> <br />
