The Neighborhood Watch program educates the public on crime prevention and brings neighborhoods together to make the community a safer place to live.

Neighborhood Watch is a program of mutual assistance among neighbors aimed at reducing crime in the community at the grass-roots level. It involves getting to know your neighbors and introducing them to the concept that good neighbors working together can look out for one another’s interest

  • when to call 911 – and what to expect
  • how to report a crime
