Neighborhood Watch Program
The goals of the Neighborhood Watch program are to make homes and families less inviting targets for crime, to cooperate with law enforcement through neighborhood block groups, to control crime throughout the community, and to provide opportunities for neighborhood leadership development. For more Information or to organize a Neighborhood Watch, Contact Neighborhood Services at 763-5678.
Around the country, neighbors for three decades have come together to create Neighborhood Watch programs. They understand that the active participation of neighborhood residents is a critical element in community safety - not through vigilantism, but simply through a willingness to look out for suspicious activity in their neighborhood, and report that activity to law enforcement and each other. In doing so, residents take a major step toward reclaiming high-crime neighborhoods, as well as making people throughout a community feel more secure and less fearful.
