Crime Prevention & Traffic Safety

NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

No one wants to get robbed or vandalized, and since Hickory Creek is such a small neighborhood, it is easy for us to look out for one another. After all, we are best familiar with the cars that drive up and down our streets. HCCC's main goal is to maintain neighbor-to-neighbor contact, a "good will" that is extended by protecting another's property unasked. We will also promote programs which raise awareness on safety and prevention issues. Let's keep an eye out for and immediately report suspicious activity! REMEMBER: It's always best to call the police in a potentially awkward or dangerous situation.

(The following is quoted directly from the Pearland Police Department's web page.)

This is simply a program of neighbors watching out for each other. It is designed to enlist the active participation of citizens in cooperation with the police to reduce crime and to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.

More specifically, a neighborhood watch is:

- Becoming acquainted with your neighbors

- Working together to identify and solve problems in your area of our community

- Helping the police by being aware of and reporting any unusual activities as they occur; you know best what is "normal" activity in your neighborhood

- Implementing crime prevention techniques to enhance home security;
not apprehending someone (leave that to the police!)

- Putting the "neighbor" back in "neighborhoods"
