Neighborhood Watch |
The Neighborhood Watch Program involves the joint effort between the police department and our Community, designed to enhance our Neighborhood security, heighten our Community's power of observation, and to encourage mutual assistance and concern among us 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 The old, well-established neighborhood has been replaced by a highly transient, growing community where people seek more and more privacy.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 our Community's vulnerability to crime. This condition dictates the need for a crime prevention program, which will enhance our Neighborhood security, heighten our Community's power of observation and encourage mutual assistance and concern among us neighbors. |
