Block Watch is a national program that is based on the principle that neighbors working together are the first and best line of defense against crime.

HOW DOES BLOCK WATCH WORK?

Block Watch really just organizes and extends what you are probably already doing on an informal basis. We tend to know and watch out for our closest neighbors, but a group of neighbors at one end of the block who are doing this may not know the group of neighbors at the other end of the block. Organizing a Block Watch makes this attitude of watchfulness more systematic, and provides a block map with neighbors' names and telephone numbers that can be used in case of an emergency.

Block Watch is simple to begin, and can improve the security of your neighborhood while increasing your sense of community.

IS BLOCK WATCH A LOT OF EXTRA WORK?

Block Watch doesn't require you to perform any special tasks, go to a lot of meetings, or take on extra responsibilities. You don't have to patrol the neighborhood, or tell your neighbors every aspect of your business. Block Watch just involves being alert as a part of your everyday life.

All it requires is that you and your neighbors be familiar enough with each other to know who belongs in the neighborhood and who doesn't; which cars are a part of the neighborhood and which aren't; recognize when something suspicious is going on and being a little more observant of changes in your surroundings.

No one has contacted me.

I apologize for your being overlooked.  We need everyone involved to increase the security of our homes.  Please email your name, address, and phone number to pajowm@gmail.com and I will contact you personally.  If you know of anyone else who has not been contacted, ask them to do the same.  If they don't use email, please send me their name, address, and phone number also.  Thank you for wanting to particiapte.

In all fairness...someone has gone Door to Door contacting people for the Neighboorhood block watch, and you Mr Miller have posted on here..it's also a

matter of people putting themselves out there and being involved.  Not just sitting back and then complaining that they're not.  Someone has knocked on my door, and I've been

on the website.  My block is already covered.
