CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -

Chapel Hill Police are encouraging UNC students and their neighbors to develop good relationships to keep their communities clean and safe.

Police and community volunteers will go door to door in neighborhoods surrounding UNC for the Good Neighbor Initiative.

They'll hand out up to a thousand goodie bags containing a new 20-page resource booklet, a guide to town services, a business guide and map with coupons for downtown businesses.

The new booklets contain information about garbage collection and recycling dates, local noise ordinances and alcohol laws, voter registration, local maps, transit information as well as neighborhood histories.

The neighborhoods on the Good Neighbor route are Northside, Pine Knolls, North Columbia and Cameron-McCauley.

Making the deliveries will be teams made up of Community Services police officers, representatives from the UNC Dean of Student Affairs Office and other University departments, UNC student government, the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership and EmPOWERment Inc., a local nonprofit that promotes affordable housing, community organizing and economic development.
