Tips to keep your neighborhood safe and secure from county watch program

Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program, which has a thirty-year history, engages volunteer citizen action to enhance security within our community by encouraging citizens to report suspicious activity in their immediate neighborhoods. In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the need for strengthening and securing our communities has become even more critical, and Neighborhood Watch groups have taken on greater significance.
