Neighborhood Watch
 
     
   
     
 

Neighborhood Crime Watch Programs, in partnership with local law enforcement, play an integral part in crime detection and prevention. National statistics have indicated that when neighbors are committed to participating in neighborhood watch groups, the quality of life in their neighborhoods improved. “Opportunity” provides the impetus for crime to occur. If neighbors organize their efforts to be vigilant of each other's property, it will likely result in the reduction of criminal incidents.

Quality of life in our community is everybody’s business. We are individually and collectively responsible for the safety and security of ourselves, families, neighbors and our homes.

Yes, we pay tax dollars for our police department, but the police are primarily a reactive agency. They do an excellent job after the fact, but if we are going to prevent crime before it occurs, that burden falls upon us, the citizens.

The Neighborhood Crime Watch Program is a Crime Prevention Program which enhances neighborhoods in many respects. Concerned neighbors, safe neighborhoods, communication among neighbors, awareness, and attention to home security are just some of enhancements the program can make. Not only is the program effective, it is free.
