Neighborhood Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among area residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies and improves relations between police and the communities they serve. Members involved in Neighborhood Watch learn how to make their homes more secure, watch out for each other and the neighborhood and report activities that raise their suspicions to law enforcement. Watch groups are not vigilantes. They are extra eyes and ears for reporting crime and helping neighbors.
Neighbors Look For. . .
Someone screaming or shouting for help. Someone looking into windows and parked cars. Property taken out of houses where no one is at home or closed businesses. Cars, vans, or trucks moving slowly with no apparent destination, or without lights. Anyone being forced into a vehicle.
