Neighborhood Watch has been a successful national program and we offer our knowledge and expertise to any group interested in starting a watch. We encourage neighborhoods to become involved in all aspects of Neighborhood Watch. Officers are available to assist groups and individuals mark and record valuables for identification should the property ever be stolen and recovered. In conjunction with local schools the Roseburg Police Department participates in the Block Home Program. This program allows an interested citizen to ride with and observe an on-duty police officer.
Officers are available for talks on child safety in and ouside the home.
These programs are structured for the pre and early primary school age group. Areas covered are contact with strangers, walking riding bikes and telephone usage in an emergency. Officers conduct bike rodeos for schools or other interested groups. The program includes bike inspections, safe operation, safety signs, bike licensing and a skills contest. The Department is open to groups or individuals who want to tour the police department.
