Neighborhood Watch

What is the Neighborhood Watch Program?

Method of joining together with the community to prevent crime and reduce fear in the neighborhood

Anybody can join

Members learn how to make their homes more secure and how to recognize and report suspicious activities in the neighborhood

What is suspicious activity?

When a person’s conduct or action does not fit the norm in the neighborhood

An occurrence that should not be happening under normal circumstances

Use your intuition – if you feel something is wrong, it’s always best to report it.

Things to look for:

Somebody in need of help

Somebody looking into cars, houses, or closed businesses

Cars, trucks, or vans driving slowly down the street without an apparent destination or with their lights off

Vehicles parked for extended time period with vehicle occupied by subject

How to report a crime:

Call 911

Give your name and address

Describe the event(s) and suspect info, in as much detail as possible

Describe the suspect’s vehicle, if applicable
