Crime Watch
THE MEADOWLARK COMMUNITY works with the National Crime Watch program. In the past, Crime Watch meetings were held in the Spring and the Fall, but we now occasionally hold one only when matters that have a bearing on our community arise. Such meetings are held at the Grace Pointe Church, corner of Raceway Road and Morris Street.
We have a good relationship with the Plainfield Police and Plainfield Fire Departments who update us on crime activity in our area and safe practices. In October we support National Night Out held at Hummel Park. We have a very active group of "Block Captains" who are on the lookout for suspicious or dangerous activity. The Meadowlark neighborhood has one of the lowest crime rates in Hendricks Co. We are very proud of that and strive to keep our community safe.
