Recently there has been some community concerns about safety and security at Shawmut Station in Dorchester. A public meeting has been arranged to make sure these acts of violence are brought to the attention of the community and action is taken to prevent further attacks. This could happen to anyone who lives and works in Dorchester. Therefore Viet AID would like invite you to a public forum to discuss how as a community we can best deal with this public safety issue. Police leaders from C-11 Area and MBTA will be at the meeting and all residents are encouraged to attend and voice any concerns.
