Menu NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM Sheriff Seeks Observant Lookouts Sheriff Daryl Wheeler asks for your help in keeping you and your family safe and informed. Join the network of neighbors who serve effectively as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement agencies in their communities. Neighborhood watch works effectively at the block level because neighbors can see and hear activity take place within their community. Neighbors are able to let each other know when they will be away from their residence for any period of time. Neighbors can make sure upkeep is done on the residence so it does not appear vacant. They will also be able to report any vehicles or persons at the residence that are not authorized to be there. The Bonner County Sheriﬀ’s Office Community Force aims to protect citizens, their homes and their property from criminal activity. A Business Watch program is also currently being developed. Those joining the Community Force will be given detailed information about current crime trends and ways to prevent crime in their neighborhoods. Citizens working in partnership with law enforcement help keep communities safe. Contact Sheryl Kins at (208) 263-8417 extension 3049 to join the Community Force and keep your neighborhood safe.
