Block Watch


WHAT:  The Block Watch program fights the isolation and separation that crime creates and feeds upon, it forges bonds among area residents and businesses, helps reduce burglaries and other crime, and improves relations between the police and the community they serve.  The Block Watch Program was started in response to the concerns of citizens about crime. The program was modeled on a similar project in Seattle which was effective in reducing residential "break and enters" by up to 60 percent.

The active involvement and participation of citizens in a Block Watch program will:

  • increase personal safety,
  • increase crime awareness,
  • increase reporting of suspicious activity,
  • increase cohesiveness and community spirit,
  • increase the safety and protection of personal property by increasing knowledge of security measures,
  • reduce crime rate, and
  • reduce the fear of crime
