WHAT IS NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH?
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. Networks of neighbors are
trained by crime prevention officers on how to
protect themselves and their property as well as how
to serve effectively as additional eyes and ears of
law enforcement.
WHAT 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 and
criminal activities in the neighborhood,
such as burglary, larceny, vandalism, and
littering.
-
Implementation of
crime prevention techniques such as home
security, suspect identification, Operation
-
Identification
and community clean up. REMEMBER-law enforcement
officers can’t be everywhere at once-but you and
your neighbors can put that neighborhood “know
how” to work.
