How to Start a Neighborhood Watch
It’s Easy to Start a Neighborhood Watch!
Neighborhood Watch is a vital part of a peaceful & safe community:
Neighborhood Watch enables residents to take effective action to stop nuisances such as party houses, noise, litter, illegal parking, etc.
Neighbors become the eyes and ears of the police to help reduce crime in their neighborhoods.
Block Captains form a close relationship with police, contact them directly about what is going on, and get quicker responses
A network of Neighborhood Watch groups allows coordinated efforts on community-wide issues.
Residents get to know their neighbors and have fun parties!
In Pacific Beach, we are fortunate to have a Neighborhood Watch liaison that works with our SDPD Community Relations officer (CRO). Together, they will help you get started and help you maintain your Neighborhood Watch group.
HOW TO START YOU NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH GROUP:
Contact us and our Neighborhood Watch Coordinator, Marcella Teran, will walk you through the easy steps.
Invite your neighbors, to a 1-hour meeting with the Community Relations Officer and Marcella. They will address your neighborhood concerns, talk about neighborhood safety, provide solutions and answer questions.
Still not sure?
Don’t worry about the number of people in your group. When you meet new neighbors they talk to their neighbors and your group will grow.
