Subseries 11.4. Public Safety, 1954-1989
- Scope and content:
-
This subseries is made up of the materials generated and retained by the Alliance through its broad efforts to improve public safety in Morningside Heights. The records of the Morningside Street Patrol (later changed to "Community Patrol") are found here, and include patrol logs, dispatch records, and collected complaints to and about the service, amongst other items. The records of the "Operation Alliance" project are also included here. The project was made up of several different arms--including an escort service for vulnerable citizens, a campaign to increase public awareness about safety issues, and work directly with criminals and problem individuals--and all are heavily documented in this subseries along with the documentation necessary for the grants that funded the project. Also collected here are pamphlets and publications on public safety and public safety programs across the country.
