Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective ways to prevent and reduce crime, address home and personal security, and reduce fear and isolation. Neighborhood Watch encourages neighbors to know each other and watch out for each other. A good neighbor is a highly effective crime prevention tool. Watch groups create a sense of community and pride by becoming unified in their desire to have a safe and healthy neighborhood.
