How to start a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH!
Many people are skeptical when they hear about neighborhood watches. Many think it involves a lot of effort with minimal impact or effect. However, most police departments will inform you otherwise. A neighborhood watch can help police crack down on crime due to the simple fact that you are a resident in the area and will more readily notice suspicious, out of place behavior in your neighborhood before they will. An example that is often used is the scenario of the stranger hanging around your neighbor's car. You look out your window and notice a stranger by your neighbor's car and know the car does not belong to them. However, when a cop car drives by, the stranger casually looks up and waves hello. The officer cannot tell if the car belongs to the person or if the person lives in the neighborhood.  Therefore, the officer may wave back and simply drive ahead. So how does a neighborhood watch work? How do you set one up? How can you and your neighbors reduce crime and help the police in your area?
