***ANCHOR INTRO*** IT’S THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE
YEAR TO BE THANKFUL AND SPREAD GREAT
CHEER. THE HOLIDAYS LATEST GIVE IT A
CHRISTMAS BRINGS FAMILY AND FRIENDS
TOGETHER FOR GOOD TIMES AND
WHOLESOME LAUGHS. IT IS ALSO THE
***TAKE VO*** SEASON WHEN COMMUNITY MINORS GO
MISSING.

HERE IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA,

THE COMMUNITY PREPARES FOR ONE OF ITS
FAVORITE HOLIDAY SEASONS. IT IS ALSO
PREPARING FOR THE NUMEROUS
KIDNAPPINGS AND CRIME DURING THIS TIME.
STORES EXPERIENCE A CRIME RATE OF UP TO
TWENTY PERCENT IN GOODS AS ONE IN FIVE

DURING THE HOLIDAYS I KNOW IS GOING TO

AMP UP. ESPECIALLY, WITH THE MAYBE MORE
BURGLARIES.

***TAKE VO***

IN THE PAST TWO YEARS, GREENSBORO HAS

TAKEN INTO EFFECT POLICIES AND SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS THAT WILL HELP SLOW THE
CRIME RATE AND ALSO KEEP FAMILIES
TOGETHER WHILE DOING SEASONAL
FESTIVITIES.

THE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN FROM TWENTY

SIGNIFICANT THIRTY PERCENT DECREASE IN
STOLEN ITEMS AND ALSO A FORTY PERCENT

** STAND UP**
RON GLEN, A POLICEMAN AT THE
GREENSBORO POLICE DEPARTMENT, SPOKE
TO ME ABOUT THE SAFETY OF GREENSBORO
AND HOW THEY PLAN TO IMPLEMENT
POLICIES AND TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO BE
SAFE DURING THE HOLIDAYS.

GREENSBORO POLICE BELIEVE THAT ADDING

EXTRA PADDING WILL HELP AGAINST
HOLIDAY OFFENDERS.

***TAKE VO***

THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS A PERFECT TIME TO

CREATE SUCH CRIME BECAUSE OF THE LACK
OF SECURITY AND PEOPLE ARE BUSY
COLLECTING GIFTS AND LAST-MINUTE
NECESSITIES.

HOWEVER, GREENSBORO RESIDENTS

BELIEVE THAT THEY WANT TO SHOW THAT
THESE ACTIONS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
AND ARE A STRONG COMMUNITY THAT
WANTS TO KEEP FAMILIES TOGETHER AND
SAFE.
