What is Neighborhood Watch?
Neighborhood Watch is a community-based program that has been proven to reduce crime. Residents participating in Neighborhood Watch are given information on crime prevention and ways to improve their home and personal security. They watch for and report suspicious or unusual activity they see occurring in their neighborhood. This enables law enforcement to be much more effective in working with citizens to reduce crime and resolve neighborhood problems.
