How to Start a Citizens' Crime Watch

  • Inform neighbors how Citizens’ Crime Watch works through informational flyers provided by Citizens’ Crime Watch.

  • Identify a Neighborhood Chairperson and organize the first meeting. At least 30% participation is required to organize your group.

  • The meeting is conducted by a Citizens’ Crime Watch Coordinator and a
    Police Officer.

  • After meeting, a Telephone Chain and assignment of Block Captains is set up by the Neighborhood Chairperson.

  • Citizens’ Crime Watch signs are to be placed at key entrances to the
    Neighborhood once organized. There is no cost for signs.

  • Once a group is organized, the Chair or a member may attend monthly meetings to report your activities and learn what other Crime Watch groups are doing. These meetings are held the 1st Wednesday of
    every month at 10:00 am at the Citizens’ Crime Watch main office.
