Assistant City Manager
Target awards grants to public safety agencies and programs that help prevent crime, support
youth and enhance safety within communities. In September 2013, Neighborhood Resources
partnered with Dublin Police Services in submitting a grant application to Target. The grant
application requested funds for assistance with two primary anti -theft strategies: 1) to purchase
promotional items with auto burglary prevention messaging; and 2) to offer a free personal
document shredding event for Dublin residents. On November 1, 2013, Neighborhood
Resources received notification from Target of its decision to award the City of Dublin $1,000
from the Public Safety Grant (Attachment 1) for the aforementioned strategies. Together the
two activities will help raise awareness among Dublin residents about auto burglary, identity
theft, mail theft and provide education about theft prevention.
