Neighborhood Watch - is a program to reduce the number of residential burglaries and criminal activity in the neighborhood through citizen involvement. This can be accomplished if citizens are observant of activities in their neighborhood and will report suspicious and criminal activity. The people living on a street are most familiar with typical activities and therefore will be most likely to recognize suspicious activities. This involvement is necessary for Neighborhood Watch to be successful. Additionally, since one or two people cannot watch all of the houses in a neighborhood or even on a street, it is necessary that several citizens in each area participate and have a way to communicate. By becoming a member of our email group you can communicate with your neighbor across the street, someone a few blocks away and people a few miles away all at the same time. By being aware of current and recent activity in the area helps Neighborhood Watch persons know who and what to watch for on their own block.
