The Community of Northridge West
Northridge West is a fairly clean, nice, suburban community. Some of the main attractions include the Northridge Mall, Skateland, The Falafel Palace, and many other places for meals and entertainment. This is why we need to keep our community safe and away from vandals and theives. Some ways you can help prevent crime are the following: take a self-defense course that teaches you ways on defending yourself when being attacked without using any weapons, carry pepper spray around, lock all doors and windows when going to sleep and leaving the house, lock all car doors and roll up all windows, when leaving the car make sure anything of value is hidden from view, and when you see a crime being committed make sure you report it or else nothing will ever get done.
