We all want to live in a safe, friendly place where we know we’ll be okay on an evening stroll, an early morning run, or while we dream the night away. But great neighborhoods just don’t happen—the people who live there pitch in to create the kind of place they enjoy living in.
If your neighborhood doesn’t have a Neighborhood Watch program, or it isn’t as active as it should be, here’s everything you need to do to get your friends and neighbors excited about protecting your homes and each other.
Why Neighborhood Watch?
For more than 40 years, neighborhood watch programs have been helping communities raise awareness and minimize crime. The program, originally started by the National Sherriff’s Association to help curb rising crime rates, is now an American institution.
Neighborhood Watch program benefits include:
Crime reduction
Better overall quality of life
Increased sense of personal control and responsibility for security
Improved community unity and pride
Productive partnerships with local law enforcement
