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

• Teaches citizens techniques to reduce the risk of being victimized at home and in public
• Trains citizens on the importance of recognizing suspicious activities and how to report them
• Teaches participants how to make their homes more secure and properly identify their belongings
• Allows neighbors to get to know each other and their routines so that any out of place activity can be reported and investigated
• Neighborhood Watch is a group of concerned citizens addressing issues that concern the entire community

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 your Law Enforcement community and your neighborhood
