Safety Awareness

Neighborhood Watch Program

Neighborhood policing creates a greater sense of security. You and your neighbors look out for each other! The Neighborhood Watch Program will show you how to observe and report suspicious activity in your neighborhood. It will also show you what information law enforcement officers need when you report a crime.

How to start a watch program in your neighborhood:

  • Determine if there is a need and interest for the program in your community. Invite neighbors who have a fairly direct view of houses or apartments. Get a small group of neighbors you mutually trust.
  • Four weeks before your first meeting, visit neighbors and explain that you are starting a neighborhood watch program. Ask about neighbor's concerns. Determine the best time and meeting place.
  • After determining the meeting time, invite one of our community relations facilitators. We'll help you get started. It's best to contact us at least two weeks before your meeting.
  • One week before the meeting, distribute flyers with day, date, time and place of meeting.
  • At first meeting, set agenda and get organized. Elect block captain or watch coordinator. Congratulations! You are beginning to take control of your community.
