Neighborhood Watch

Jun 16, 2004

Neighborhood Watch is a program of neighbors watching other neighbors?’ property during vacations, the workday, evenings, or during any absence. It is important to note that police officers who patrol your neighborhood will often be called away because of emergencies. Also, they may not recognize someone as a stranger in your yard, but your neighbors would.

The purpose of the Neighborhood Watch program is to create an alert neighborhood by using simple crime prevention methods. The program works through mutual aid ?– neighbors watching the property of other neighbors. This has several advantages, including the fact that your neighbors know who you are, what type of car you drive, & when you will be away. It does not promote vigilantism.
