The
Neighborhood Watch Program is a highly successful effort
that has been in existence for more than thirty years
in cities and counties across America. It provides a
unique infrastructure that brings together local officials,
law enforcement and citizens to protect our communities.
Around
the country, neighbors for three decades have banded
together to create Neighborhood Watch programs. They
understand that the active participation of neighborhood
residents is a critical element in community safety
- not through vigilantism, but simply through a willingness
to look out for suspicious activity in their neighborhood,
and report that activity to law enforcement and to each
other. In doing so, residents take a major step toward
reclaiming high-crime neighborhoods, as well as making
people throughout a community feel more secure and less
fearful.
