Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program which enlists the active participation of residents in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce crime in their communities. Neighborhood Watch involves neighbors getting to know one another and working together in a program of mutual assistance. Residents become trained to recognize and report suspicious activities, and can then implement the crime prevention techniques they have learned to ensure residential and vehicle security as well as personal safety in their neighborhoods.
