The Crime Watch program is a community based program that's
been proven to deter crime. Crime Watch is a group of neighbors working
together along with law enforcement agencies and local organizations in a
community-wide effort to reduce residential crime. Getting to know your
neighbors and becoming familiar with your neighbors' habits and vehicles
allows you to know when something is suspicious or out of the ordinary.
Crime Watch promotes crime prevention by educating neighborhoods encouraging
residents to: improve outdoor lighting, keep home doors, garage and windows
closed and locked at all times, and to store lawn equipment and toys out of
view when not in use.
Remember that as many crimes occur during daylight
hours as at night. Don't let your guard down during the day.
