Citizens' Crime Watch Teaches About Crime

Citizens’ Crime Watch is a non profit county-wide crime prevention program funded by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, grants and donations. When neighborhood watch is fully operative, you and your neighbors become the “Eyes and Ears” of local police department, telephoning the police at the first hint of suspicious activity.

Citizens’ Crime Watch is a program that teaches members techniques to reduce the risk of being victimized at home, in their vehicles and in public places. It also trains members the importance of recognizing suspicious activities; evaluate them; and then how to properly report them.

A crime watcher is the telephone technician, the newspaper carrier, the letter carrier, the bus driver, taxi cab operator, the garbage truck driver, the at home Mom or Dad, and even a student on his way to school. Citizens’ Crime Watch operates most effectively at the neighborhood level where residents can become more unified by knowing each other and working as a team in protecting their area. Meetings are also held in Churches, Clubhouses and residents homes.
