Be Concerned, Be Careful, but most of all, Be Involved
Neighborhood Watch is a citizen's involvement program where citizens, in cooperation with the New Orleans Police Department, directly participate in the detection and prevention of crime in their neighborhood. Citizens involved in Neighborhood Watch are trained how to recognize suspicious or criminal activities and how to report these activities to the N.O.P.D. Neighborhood Watch Groups are trained by District Crime Prevention Officers focusing on particular crime problems in their neighborhood.
Neighborhood Watch works because people want to assume a more active role in making their community a safer place to live. Residents within a neighborhood are aware of who belongs there and who doesn't and what activity is suspicious. The most important reason Neighborhood Watch works is that citizens began working with, instead of relying on, law enforcement to combat crime in their community. You can do something about crime in your neighborhood by becoming involved in NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH.
