Neighborhood
Watch Programs are designed to prevent and deter crimes from occurring. They can also be helpful in identifying suspects in crimes that
have been committed.
Your
neighborhood group will receive a quarterly newsletter and Neighbor Alert Watch
Bulletins. Emergency preparedness for your home and neighborhood
is addressed. Special programs, such
as Operation ID, and vacation home checks will be available to your neighborhood
watch group. Help make your neighborhood
a safer place, by calling to organize a neighborhood Watch Program on your street.
Neighborhood
Watch Programs are organized according to the street you live on.
Most will include 12-15 homes. If
you are interested in a Neighborhood Watch Program and are willing to host the
first meeting with neighbors, all you have to do is call AHHA voice mail at
726-8844. You provide the place for the meeting, all other details, including
contacting your neighbors will be done for you. Meetings are held during the
week from 7:00-8:30 PM. Two meetings
are required to form a Neighborhood Watch.
A Neighborhood Watch Captain will be selected at one of these meetings.
