What Makes A Successful Neighbor Watch
Typically, Neighborhood Watch groups are organized due to occurrences of crime in the area. Often, when the crime has gone away, so does the Neighborhood Watch. A Neighborhood Watch does more than just relieve the immediate threat of crime, a Watch group empowers people to take action, builds partnerships between law enforcement and the communities they serve, and forges communication among residents. Neighborhood Watch is far more than a quick fix for an immediate crisis, it can be a moving force for positive change that tackles the root causes of crime.
Successful Neighborhood Watches move beyond the basics of home security, watching out for suspicious activity, and reporting crime to law enforcement. They sponsor community cleanups, find solutions to neighborhood problems, and use the community resources to improve the quality of life and reduce the fear of crime.
The Lawrence Police urges all neighborhoods and business's to get involved now and not when it's a crisis.
