Northwest Neighborhood Block Watch
What is a “Block Watch”?
The idea of a Block Watch is simply to take an active role in keeping
our neighborhood safe by looking out for your neighbors and keeping each
other informed of any incidents that do occur.
What is a Block Watch Captain?
Of course you care about crime and your neighborhood. Therefore, you have everything it takes to be a Block Watch Captain. It’s easy to complain about the police and / or criminal activity. Here’s your chance to do something about.
Does My Block Have a Block Watch Captain?
The typical Captain has about 10-15 people that they try to keep in regular touch. Captains get to decide for themselves how large an area they care to communicate with on a regular basis. With over 500 Block Watch members I’m sure you have a few members on your block. Maybe you or one of your neighbors would like to take responsibility for a portion of your neighborhood?
