When we know our neighbors, our neighborhood is safer.

Dear Pacific Beach Resident,

Start your own Neighborhood Watch Now! All the information you need is provided in our Pacific Beach Neighborhood Watch Guide.

A Pacific Beach Neighborhood Watch guide was prepared by SavePB.org* members after gathering information from the police, city officials, and other community groups. (See the next page to find out what is included in the guide.)

Neighborhood Watch is a vital part of a peaceful and safe community because:

• Block captains form a close relationship with police, contact them directly about what is going on and get quicker responses
• Neighbors become the eyes and ears of the police
• Neighborhood Watch reduces crime in your neighborhood
• Neighborhood Watch enables residents to take effective action to stop nuisances such as party houses, noise, litter, illegal parking, etc.
• A network of Neighborhood Watch groups allows coordinated efforts on community-wide issues
• You get to know your neighbors and can have fun neighborhood parties!

Please contact us for a copy of the Pacific Beach Neighborhood Watch guide. Together we can build a community-wide network of Pacific Beach Neighborhood Watch groups.

Feel free to contact us anytime with questions or for more information.

Respectfully,

Marcella Teran at www.SavePB.org
