 Community policing to continue six months &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The Board of Supervisors voted Wednesday night to continue a community
policing program in the Meadowcrest Housing Project for the next six monthsThe
federally funded program places police officers in the complex several days a
week to patrol the area on foot and work with residents to make the complex
safer. The subsidized housing complex is operated by the Luzerne County
Housing Authority. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The program was started last summer and could last one more year, depending
on the availability of federal funding, said township Manager Jeff Box. After
the funding runs out, officers will spend part of their shifts working in the
complex. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Residents told a reporter last fall that the police patrols had made a
positive impact on their neighborhood. Incidents of vandalism, noisy
youngsters and other problems drastically decreased, they said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "We have received several encouraging letters of support for the program,"
Supervisor Randall Glidden said after the meeting. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "The Housing Authority has told us they like what we're doing," Box said. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 In other business, the supervisors unanimously voted to: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Install stop signs on Pioneer Avenue at intersections with Davis Street,
Mount Airy Road and West Center Street. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 "Residents have approached us many times with their concerns over safety
along Pioneer Avenue," Box said. The signs will be installed in March after
the supervisors approve
