What is a Block Captain?
Responsibilities of a Block Captain:
- Introduce yourself to the neighbors on your street and welcome new neighbors on your block
- Contact the Coordinator to get Welcome Packets to hand to new neighbors
- Gather information such as current names, addresses, phone numbers, and email
- Inform all residents of any crime incidents reported to you
- Report to the Block Captain Coordinator any crime information ASAP so they can spread the info to all BCs
- Identify a willing individual to take your place as block captain if you choose to step down.
- Spread information about – and help enforce – city codes such as keeping sidewalks shoveled or leaves out of the streets
- Help spread news and encourage participation in FHNA activities, volunteering, the website (Fultonheights.org), and the FHNA Facebook page
