Neighborhood Watch groups are one of the greatest tools in the fight against crime we as police officers and communities have.
Qualifications to be an active Neighborhood Watch Group:
- A Neighborhood Watch group must have a minimum of two training meetings a year.
- 50% of the residences must participate in order to qualify for Neighborhood Watch signs.
- If 50% participation is not met, the group will be issued Neighborhood Watch stickers in-lieu of Neighborhood Watch signs until membership reaches 50%.
- The Block Location Sheet must be entirely filled out before Neighborhood Watch signs will be issued.
- The Neighborhood Watch group must have (1) yearly recertification meeting to maintain its standing as an active Neighborhood Watch group, and retain its Neighborhood Watch signs.
