Overview
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program, which enlists the active participation of citizens, in cooperation with law enforcement, to reduce crime in our community.
What it Involves
- Neighbors getting to know each other and working together in a program of mutual assistance.
- Citizens being trained to recognize and report suspicious activity and identify vehicles that are not usually in the area.
- The implementation of crime prevention techniques, such as home security, vehicle security and Operation Identification.
Why Neighborhood Watch?
- Over 40 million crimes are committed every year nationwide.
- There can't be a law enforcement officer on every corner, so citizen involvement is essential to combat this social crisis.
- By cooperating with each other and the police, people can help fight crime in their community the most effective way - before it begins.
