Business members of the Peabody Square/Ashmont area in Dorchester along with St Marks Area Main Streets met this morning to discuss implementing an organized Business Watch in their local business district.  "The idea has been tossed around for awhile but unfortunately has never taken hold" said Dan Larner, Executive Director of SMAMS.  A number of recent incidents along with an increase in loitering, aggressive panhandling, skatebording and lack of cleanliness has prompted business owners, managers and employees to rally around the idea that an organized group of individuals can make an area inhospitable to crime and more hospitable for business.  The Neighborhood Watch Unit has also presented to Hyde Park and Dudley Square Main Streets.  We, along with our many partners, look forward to getting this preventative program off the ground!
