The
Public Safety Department and Police Bureau encourage Block Watch and
Business Watch programs to fight crime in our local communities and
business districts. Both programs are based on the theory of prevention
-- stopping crime before it starts and alerting police when it does.
Both programs use signs, slogans and stickers bearing the Watch
logo accompanied by monthly meetings with other Watch members to encourage neighborliness, creative problem-solving and to send a message to potential offenders. The warning to potential offenders is clear: Your
community will take an aggressive approach to work with the Public Safety Department to apprehend and prosecute all criminal violations.
The Crime Prevention Officer in your Zone will assist the Watch by
providing recent crime information and safety tips. |
