| The Neighborhood Watch Program involves the joint effort between the police department and the community, designed to enhance neighborhood security, heighten the community’s power of observation, and to encourage mutual assistance and concern among neighbors. In recent years, neighborhoods have experienced rapid change. The old, well-established neighborhood has been replaced by a highly transient, growing community where people seek more and more privacy. This life-style tends to promote unfamiliarity with neighbors and a corresponding lack of concern. Unfortunately, this enhances the opportunity for the criminal element and increases the community’s vulnerability to crime. This condition dictates the need for a crime prevention program, which will enhance neighborhood security, heighten the community’s power of observation and encourage mutual assistance and concern among neighbors. |

| Neighborhood Crimes Are Preventable. It is everyone's job to discourage criminals. |
Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime
and reduce fear. 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. Read
on for information on how to organize your own neighborhood watch.

on for information on how to organize your own neighborhood watch.
WHAT IS NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH?
It is Neighborhoods organized to be the eyes and ears of the police. Reporting suspicious activities and persons to the
police as soon as they are observed. Neighborhood Watch is a great way citizens can work together to prevent crime.
HOW DOES NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH WORK?
It operates to educate participants in the principles of deterrence, delay, and detection. It depends on a communication
network organized with three levels:
the residents,
block captains and co-captains,
and the Crime Prevention Officer.
The major issue, however, is that you report suspicious activities to the police.
HOW TO ORGANIZE A NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
1. Contact you local Neighborhood Association and Police Department's Office expressing your desire to institute the
Neighborhood Watch Program in your neighborhood.
2. Contact your neighbors and see if they want the program.
3. If it is determined that you and your neighbors want the program, the next step is to have the initial meeting with your
Neighborhood Watch Group. At this meeting you are to do the following things:
A. Select a block captain and a co-captain.
B. Establish a calling list with the names, addresses and phone numbers of the people who will be participating
in your Neighborhood Watch.
C. Select a time and date, with alternates, and a meeting place where you would have your second Neighborhood
Watch meeting.
4. Contact your local Police Crime Prevention Officer to advise them of the dates you have selected. From these dates
available,the Crime Prevention Officer will schedule that second meeting with the Neighborhood Watch Team and your
neighbors.
5. Upon completion of the steps above, and meeting with your local Police Department's Office Neighborhood Watch
Team,the Neighborhood Watch Program in your neighborhood is now off to a start. It is the hope that this Neighborhood
Team concept will assist in the reduction or elimination of crime involving households and businesses within the
neighborhoods, and in general will put your neighborhood on the road back to a more secure community.
WHEN TO CALL THE POLICE
No police station can function effectively without the assistance of responsible citizens. Some people fail to call the police
simply because they are not aware of what seemingly innocent activities might be suspicious. Others may notice suspicious
activity and be hesitant to call for fear of seeming like a "nosy neighbor" or a "crank". Still others take for granted that
someone else has already called. Don't worry about being embarrassed if your suspicions prove unfounded. Think instead
about what could happen if you don't act!
