What Is a Neighborhood Watch Program?

watch_sign

Neighborhood Watch is a program designed to increase neighborhood livability by reducing crime and the fear of crime by active citizen participation.

By organizing a Neighborhood Watch you will:

  • Become familiar with your neighbors and activities on the block.
  • Be able to recognize and report suspicious activity.
  • Learn ways to make your home and yourself a “hard target.”
  • Become part of a block map and telephone tree system.
  • Promote a positive open relationship between the Law Enforcement community and your neighborhood.

What Neighborhood Watch Is Not

  • A vigilante force working outside the normal procedures of law enforcement.
  • A program designed for participants to take personal risks to prevent crime.
  • A 100% guarantee that crime will not occur in your neighborhood.

Benefits of Neighborhood Watch

  • You reduce the risk of being a crime victim.
  • You will be better prepared to respond to suspicious activity.
  • Information about criminal activity in your area will be more readily available to you.
  • Neighborhood Watch signs will be available to post in your neighborhood.
  • By knowing your neighbors you can feel more secure about your property.
  • By reducing the fear of crime it makes your neighborhood more livable.
