Sixteen (16) of the 21 blocks of Bellemeade are participating in the Bellemeade Neighborhood Watch Program. Neighborhood Watch is simply nothing more than neighbors taking care of neighbors in an organized way. Is Your Block not participating because the residents have not selected a Block Captain and Alternate for starters.
Getting started is simple:
1. Get acquainted with your neighbors.
~ Exchange names, addresses and phone numbers with your neighbors.
~ Know your neighbor’s automobiles.
2. Post the address numbers of your residence where they can be readily seen from the street. Use fluorescent numbers if possible.
3. Keep a written inventory including date and place of purchase, serial numbers if applicable, and pictures of your possessions in a safe place like a bank lockbox.
4. Call 911 when you observe suspicious persons or activity.
~ Continue to observe the subject(s) and obtain a description as well as a mode and direction of travel. DO NOT confront the subjects.
~ Have neighbors' and Block Captain's phone numbers readily available by the telephone to alert your neighbors.
5. Give your neighbors your business and/or emergency phone number where you can be reached.
6. Give your residence and neighborhood maximum visibility by keeping shrubbery neatly trimmed. Use exterior lighting.
7. Take an active interest in your neighborhood; volunteer to be a captain or alternate.
8. Know who your block captain and alternate are and bring your concerns and suggestions to them.
~ Attend Block Watch meetings.
~ Encourage your neighbors to be involved.
REMEMBER: Neighborhood Watch is not a vigilante committee!
You are the eyes and ears assisting the police and each other making your neighborhood a safe place to live.
This is YOUR neighborhood.............. take an active interest in it!
