Are the Neighbors watching?




Are the Neighbors watching?

Mr. Wilson seemed to have a pretty good view of Tim Taylor's back yard. It's not quite the same here in Vegas with Brick Walls. Who even speaks to their neighbor’s anymore? Can you truthfully say you don't go straight into your garage and close the door before getting out of the car, just to avoid the neighbors? What if we made a conscious effort to do just the opposite? To say hello? To waive as you pass by? To stop a neighbor and chat as they walk the dog? Or pick up the mail? In this time of technology do we even friend our neighbors or do we care about their well being? “Watching your neighbors” and Neighborhood Watch can be one in the same if it's not done to be malicious or creepy, it is about caring about your neighbors and your neighborhood.

"Neighborhood Watch is an organized group of neighbors who observe more closely any activity or situation that depreciates the appearance or safety of their community. Neighborhood Watch is, as the name implies, a group of people who see the subtle, and not so subtle changes of their neighborhood. They simply observe and report violations of ordinances and laws to the proper enforcement agencies.

Neighborhood Watch simply consists of neighbors who watch. They report everything from crimes in progress to graffiti buildup in their neighborhood. If you are interested in becoming an active member of Neighborhood Watch call the Area Command providing police service to your neighborhood.

Neighborhood Watch is one of the oldest and most recognized programs to help neighborhoods in the fight against crime and other quality of life issues. Neighbors who choose working together, and with their police department, is a benefit for all involved.

Join the hundreds of neighborhoods already benefiting from this crime prevention effort.

You CAN make a difference!"
