Neighbors getting to know each other, watching out for each other and acting on or reporting suspicious activities. Citizens working with groups, community leaders, and more importantly, law enforcement agencies to make entire communities safe and free from crime.
Criminals gravitate to places where they feel safe and secure.
They avoid neighborhoods where they are likely to get caught. When they are neither wanted nor welcome, they go someplace else. Leave some lights and a radio on when you are out. A deadbolt lock is a good deterrent to burglars. Burglars know all the secret hiding places.
