Neighborhood Watch
"A Community Action and Problem Solving Program" What is Neighborhood Watch? The Neighborhood Watch, Community and Problem-Solving Program is one of the most effective means available for resolving issues within your community. Through organized problem-solving activities, your block can discourage crime from your neighborhood and address any community issue that concerns residents. The Neighborhood Watch program relies on the best tool ever invented - a good neighbor. Fortunately, good neighbors are found everywhere. Neighborhood Watch is not guard duty. It is focusing on community issues, forming community action groups, getting to resolutions, being aware of suspicious activity, and knowing what to do about it, effectively securing your property, and developing a neighborhood communication network. Neighborhood Watch is a police/community partnership and an educational process by which neighbors can learn to resolve neighborhood issues. How do you start Neighborhood Watch? It's easy, select the area to be covered by your Neighborhood Watch block. A block consists of 12-20 homes that surround you. Personally contact and talk with as many block participants as possible. Share the above information about the Neighborhood Watch Program and ask neighbors to participate. Select a few possible Tuesday or Wednesday evening meeting dates that are convenient for interested neighbors. Next, contact the San Ramon Police Department's Crime Prevention Specialist at (925) 973-3303 to schedule the first meeting of a three meeting process. (Please note that a minimum of two weeks advance notice is needed.) Take a positive first step towards a safer community!
