Neighborhood Watch

What is a Neighborhood Watch?

A Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime. It is designed to restore the time-honored values of neighborhoods where residents knew and watched out for each other. Members of a Neighborhood Watch work together as a community, empowering themselves to strengthen the neighborhood.

Studies show that Neighborhood Watch is effective because it brings neighbors together around a common cause -- safety and security.

Communicating within the neighborhood and with law enforcement is essential.

If you are interested in bringing Neighborhood Watch training to your block(s), please contact us.
