What is Neighborhood Crime Watch?

A Neighborhood Crime Watch encourages residents in a particular area to prevent crime or reduce crime in that area, develop a positive rapport with law enforcement, and to report or be the "eyes and ears" for law enforcement. At Crime Watch meetings, residents discuss and plan potential solutions to curb the area's crime problems. Neighborhood Crime Watch is also a great way to meet and get to know your neighbors, which enhances everyone's safety in the neighborhood.
