These speakers have given us useful information, and given us an opportunity to express our feelings about law enforcement and other concerns in our area. We patrol the area at various times of day and night. Patrolling may include driving around the area or just parking in place. In addition, members may be alert for suspicious activity when they're at home or driving through the area. Most of our vehicles are equipped with CB radios to keep in contact with others on patrol as well as with home base units.
Information obtained is logged and shared with the appropriate agency.
All indications are that the Watch Group has been very effective. Crime and traffic are much reduced in our area.
