PREVENT CRIME - Get Involved with NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH Neighborhood Watch is an organized group of neighbors devoted to crime prevention within a neighborhood or block. In other words, Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention scheme under which neighbors agree together to keep an eye on one another's properties, and report suspicious incidents to law enforcement. It DOES NOT involve neighbors patrolling their block on foot or in their vehicles. As such, involvement is simple – instead of simply ignoring observed suspicious situations, vehicles, or people, we want you to be nosey and report it to the Denver Police Department, immediately. For your safety, there is no need, on your part, to intervene or initiate contact with whatever suspicious activity may be occurring. All you need to do is pick up the phone and call the Denver Police Department. The Neighborhood Watch program encourages communication between neighbors. For example, you can convey to your neighbors when you are most often at work, if you are out of town, or gone for an extended length of time. If something suspicious is observed at or around your residence, your neighbor or neighbors will call the Denver Police. No matter how insignificant it may seem, we want you to call the Denver Police. Never consider yourself to be nuisance by calling. When someone feels what they are observing to be insignificant or minor, it is during those times when a crime is prevented, or suspects are apprehended in the commission of a crime. All that is required is that those involved neighbors meet just once a year – just to stay informed, get to know each other, and update any contact information. I always suggest meeting during the summer time when a block BBQ or Pot-Luck get-together can easily be scheduled. Once a Neighborhood Watch is established, the Denver Police will post signs on your block advertising that a Neighborhood Watch is in effect.
