‎​‎​UJO Applauds Assemblyman Hikind’s “The Leiby’s Initiative”

‎​‎​UJO Applauds Assemblyman Hikind's "The Leiby's Initiative" 

The United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg (UJO) is urging NYS lawmakers to support and quickly adopt legislation to be introduced by Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Assemblyman Peter Abbate and State Senator Diane Savino entitled "The Leiby Initiative" which grants a $500 annual tax credit to New York City property owners who purchase, install, and maintain surveillance cameras around their property. 

On Wednesday morning, the UJO held an emergency meeting in the wake of Leiby's brutal murder with the local Williamsburg volunteer organizations Shomrim, Hatzolah, Chaverim and Chesed and "Secure our Community" (SOC) was quickly formed. Secure our Community is a grassroots effort to encourage property owners to install recording surveillance cameras.

Part of SOC's mission is to compile a database of existing cameras, to be held by Shomrim, so in the event of a crime, footage can quickly be obtained. SOC is also working with surveillance camera vendors to offer cameras at a reduced cost in support of the community. While formed as local Williamsburg project, SOC will gladly give technical support to all communities that are interested in replicating it.

Rabbi David Niederman, President of the UJO said, "Assemblyman Hikind has been working tirelessly day and night since Leiby's abduction and his proposed legislation will really encourage people to not only secure their properties but their entire community. I strongly urge all legislators to support this vital legislation and quickly adopt it as New York State Law."
