PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia community is rallying together to try to curtail crime and violence that has gripped their once peaceful neighborhood.

Melissa Brannon, a 10 year resident of Fairmount, organized a town watch and for that last month has gathered with neighbors to strategize about how to make their community safer.

She was inspired to make a change after a recent spike in crime that included four broad daylight carjackings and a shooting in front of a popular neighborhood bar.

Brannon recruited Anthony Murphy, the Executive Director of Town Watch Integrated Services, to lead the training. Fairmount neighborhood watch participants gathered to learn special training. "We're a part of making communities more stable," Murphy said. "So it's not so much the crime that drives it, although that is a contributing factor, it is communities wanting to build a stronger community." Murphy said neighborhoods typically contact him about burglaries, car break-ins and even dumping in their area, but violent crime has become an increasing concern."The police department they have developed a carjacking sheet which we gave out at the previous meeting so the residents can have the carjacking tips," Murphy said.
