Help Create a Safer Community

By setting up a Neighborhood Crime Watch training, your community will join other neighborhoods who are helping reduce crime in your community.

What is a Neighborhood Crime Watch?

A partnership between the community and the police department to help reduce crime and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods.
A group of neighbors addressing issues that concern the entire community.
Neighbors are talking to each other, building a sense of community and place.

Neighborhood Crime Watch Basics

All neighbors are invited to participate in the group.
Members should be ready to learn how to create a safer community. The community can include homes, businesses, schools, and public spaces.
All neighbors will report any suspicious activity to the police.
Neighborhood Crime Watch members are not vigilantes. They are extra eyes and ears for their neighbors and the police department.

Neighborhood Crime Watch Signs

Most neighborhoods need about 5-7 signs depending on the number of entrances and the overall size of the neighborhood.
Signs are placed in locations recommended by your Community Interaction Officer (CIO).
The City installs the signs for free on existing light and utility poles.
The signs are usually installed 2-3 weeks after they are ordered.
