Help support our public safety teams during emergency situations and special events. Volunteers assist our Police and Fire departments to direct traffic, maintain perimeters, set up emergency staging areas, search for missing persons and crowd control.
We believe Neighborhood Watch groups effectively help in the reduction of local crime and build strong neighborhoods. Block captains are responsible for organizing two neighborhood meetings annually. Meetings can be formal or informal and are not limited to crime prevention topics. Many neighborhoods find that their Neighborhood Watch groups are able to address other issues such as parks, home maintenance and traffic concerns. Our team is available to facilitate meetings, locate speakers and provide ongoing support and training for Block Captains.
