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.

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 activities in their neighborhoods.
• Implementation of crime prevention techniques such as residential security and vehicle security.

Why Neighborhood Watch?

• Over 40 million crimes are committed every year and the number is still growing.
• A law enforcement officer can not be on every corner, every minute, of everyday. Citizen involvement is essential to combat crime in your neighborhood.
• By cooperating with each other and law enforcement, people can help fight crime in their community the most effective way - before it begins.

How do I get involved?

FIRST - Contact The Department and tell them you are interested in starting or joining a Neighborhood Watch group.

ALSO - Use your eyes and ears, and then your telephone. If you spot something suspicious, call local law enforcement immediately.
