To enhance public safety in communities throughout Bright House Networks service areas, we launched a neighborhood watch initiative called Operation Bright Eyes. With help of local law enforcement agencies and Crime Stopper chapters, more than 900 of the company’s service technicians have been provided community-based training that empowers Bright House Networks service technicians to lend a helping hand to members of the community and also encourages them to take a proactive role in emergency situations including Amber Alerts.

Bright House Networks first launched Operation Bright Eyes in 2005 in Tampa, Florida. Service technicians have rescued young children who wandered away from their homes, helped hit-and-run victims, reported house fires and attempted residential break-ins and much more. The programs success in the Tampa Bay area prompted the expansion of the program in other communities the company serves including Indianapolis and Birmingham. We plan to launch the program in Bakersfield, Orlando, and Detroit in 2008
