Several Downtown Lakewood property owners are working together with LakewoodAlive to launch a pilot program to enhance security in the commercial district this spring. The plan calls for hiring uniformed off-duty Lakewood Police officers to patrol the area at strategic times to establish a visible sense of enhanced security as weather improves and activity increases. The property owners recognize that a successful business district will attract a variety of visitors. The desire is to assure that Downtown Lakewood is a place where all feel welcome and safe.
