Neighborhood Watch is a clear asset and continues to show the ability to sustain and improve upon our community based initiatives.
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program which enlists the active participation of citizens in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce crime in their communities. Networks of neighbors are trained by prevention officers on how to protect themselves and their property as well as how to serve effectively as additional eyes and ears of law enforcement.
What Neighborhood Watch Involves:
- Neighbors getting to know each other and working together in a program of mutual assistance.
- Citizens being trained to recognize and report suspicious and criminal activities, such as burglary, larceny, vandalism, and littering.
- Implementation of crime prevention techniques such as home security and suspect identification.
- REMEMBER – law enforcement officers can’t be everywhere at once, but you and your neighbors can put that neighborhood “know how” to work.
