Block Watch | Forest Park Civic Association

Meet our neighborhood’s Supplemental Security Staff at the November Block Watch.

On behalf of all residents, the FPCA has a contract with a private security firm that drives through our streets. FPCA members can request the security patrol check on their homes when they are away. This is a free service available through The Forester Newsletter and online.

Many people have requested to meet with our security patrol staff so our volunteer Supplementary Security Chairs have arranged for a representative from the supplemental security company, US Protection Services, to attend the November Block Watch meeting on Nov. 11 at 6 p.m.

The Block Watch precedes each monthly FPCA General Meeting on the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Epworth United Methodist Church.

Location is Epworth United Church at 5100 Karl Rd. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend all meetings.

Our Columbus Police Liaison officer Dan Yandrich and FPCA Supplemental Security Chair Daryl Van Mercetta will provide updates and take questions prior to the FPCA monthly meeting.
