Welcome:
For over thirty years, the National Sheriffs’ Association’s Neighborhood Watch program has built partnerships between law enforcement and community members to reduce crime and improve the quality of life. Today, with its continued emphasis on crime reduction, Neighborhood Watch has expanded its mission to include securing the homeland by encouraging, promoting, and empowering people to get involved in their communities through Neighborhood Watch.
Joint Responsibility:
The prevention of crime – particularly crime involving residential neighborhoods – is a responsibility that must be shared equally by law enforcement and private citizens. The impact of law enforcement alone on crime prevention is minimal compared with the power of private citizens working with law enforcement and with one another. Neighborhood Watch is based on the principle of cooperation, and nationwide statistics show it works. When citizens take positive steps to secure their own property and neighbors learn how to report suspicious activity around their homes, burglaries and related offenses decrease dramatically.
Goal:
We aim to reach as many people as possible and build strong, lasting relationships based on trust, respect, and teamwork. Working together, we can improve the quality of life for all Shelburne community members and visitors.
