Neighborhood Watch

The effort to organize a Watch is usually spearheaded by a few concerned residents, a community organization, a business organization or a law enforcement agency. Anyone who lives or works within the geographical unit or area can join the Watch group. Members learn how to make their homes and neighborhoods more secure, watch out for each other and report illegal or suspicious activities to the police. Neighborhood Watch helps build pride in the neighborhood and often serves as a springboard for efforts to address community concerns such as recreation opportunities for youth, child care, programs for seniors, etc.
