Daily News | Society Hill residents pool money to hire a private security guard for the summer
Delancey Square plans to contract with OPS Security to patrol from 7:30 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. on weekends during the summer. The hope is that the Philadelphia-based firm will provide more eyes on the street, amid a broader policing shortage that has strained patrols citywide.
“There was an uptick in packages being stolen, there was an uptick in some really aggressive panhandling, we started to see car windows being smashed,” Dain said. Still, Society Hill remains a relatively sleepy hollow compared to other neighborhoods. So far this year, police data shows two aggravated assaults in the town watch area, which runs from Front to Fifth Street, from Spruce to Lombard, and the area around Headhouse Square, but most of the reported crimes are property-related thefts.
