Join forces with the Rivertown Security Bureau to establish a Neighborhood Watch Group in your community. By collaborating with our deputy sheriffs, you’ll gain valuable insights into observing and reporting suspicious individuals and potential criminal activities. Together, we can fortify your neighborhood as an unwelcome place for criminals.

 

The Neighborhood Watch program, provided by the Rivertown Security Bureau, is entirely FREE and is more than just a crime prevention initiative. It’s an opportunity to foster mutual understanding and cooperation between residents and law enforcement.

 

By initiating or joining a Neighborhood Watch program, you become the extra eyes and ears of law enforcement in your community. Our dedicated team will educate you on the art of observing and reporting suspicious activities. Through this seamless communication, we collectively work towards making your neighborhood a safer and more harmonious place to call home.

 

To establish a Neighborhood Watch Group, you’ll need a minimum of three volunteers to oversee your efforts:

 

– **Chairperson**: The leader who facilitates the group’s activities.

– **Co-Chairperson**: Assists the chairperson and ensures smooth coordination.

– **Communication Leader**: Manages communication within the group and with law enforcement.

 

Remember, the most effective crime prevention tool is a strong and vigilant neighborhood. The security measures you and your neighbors implement as a united front are just as vital as individual efforts.

 

The Neighborhood Watch program operates on the fundamental principle that crime prevention requires collaboration with law enforcement. It’s about neighbors looking out for each other’s well-being. It’s a collective effort of citizens who care deeply about their community and are committed to its improvement.

 

While law enforcement plays a significant role in crime prevention through patrols and educational initiatives, your active participation is equally crucial. Together, we can deny criminals the opportunities they seek by taking preventive measures.

 

In any crime, three elements are at play: desire, ability, and opportunity. Eliminate any one of these factors, and crime cannot occur. Properly securing your doors, staying vigilant, reporting suspicious individuals or activities, and keeping track of your valuables all work together to remove the criminal’s easy targets.

 

By forming or joining a Neighborhood Watch Group, you’re not only helping protect your community but also building stronger bonds with your neighbors and law enforcement. Let’s work together to make Rivertown an even safer place to live.
