I have seen several signs of “neighborhood watch” at the some streets in my community.
The Fig 01 (at below) sign was old one, need to be replaced.
As you might know that neighborhood watch is a program to bond among 3 parties:
- residents in certain area
- businesses
- policies
This program was initiated by The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) in 1972, about 50 years ago.
The main purpose is to help residents and law enforcement at neighborhood level.
Now days, it is estimated more than 5,000 local agencies involve in the watch program.
How to involve in neighborhood watch program?
The programs of neighborhood watch are run by volunteer. The volunteers come from neighbors. Just register to be a volunteer.
Is the neighborhood watch program success to reduce crime?
Since the members are volunteers, the “measure” of success is relate to:
- improving relationship between residents and polices
- giving crucial tips to law enforcement to prevent a crime (robbery or burglary)
- preparing residents to handle disaster
Have your neighborhoods this kind of program?
