Police ask City Residents To “Black” Up
posted (March 26, 2015)
The officers at the Eastern Division want city residents to BLACK. If you're wondering what that means, BLACK stands for "Be Loving and Cease Killing". And the Eastern Division wants you to start by participating in the BLACK march against crime in the city tomorrow. Officers are inviting the public to register for the custom made t-shirts or wear black or white for the march. Senior Superintendent Edward Broaster told us today how this initiative along with other policing programs will bring the community closer.

Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster
"The initiative is basically to bring together our communities and our young people in particular to stop the killing and the violence and we want the entire community to participate in this march for which we will be passing from Yabra through most of the gang neighborhoods doing the march ad trying to appeal and bring the different groups together for which most of them will be participating in the march as well for tomorrow. BLACK will be a sustain campaign just as "not in my city." As a matter of fact BLACK is a directive from "not in my city" and these campaigns we know we have to continue push in the community to ensure that we have the desired result that we hope to achieved."

The march is set for tomorrow morning at 6:30. It begins at Yabra Green and the group will be stopping at major hot spots in the city like Jump Street, Pink's Alley and George Street to pray. The march will end off at the cemetery.
