Block Watch Program

Mar 02, 2003

Neighborhood block watch programs have proven to be one of the most effective ways for citizens to get involved in the fight against crime. The police need the help of alert and concerned neighborhoods. The block watch provides a means for everyone to be responsibly involved in the fight against crime. In no way are participants asked to perform law enforcement duties. There are no block watch responsibilities that would put anyone in harm?’s way. Most block watch duties are performed in the course of one?’s everyday life and does not detract from working schedules or leisure time. Information about crimes is shared with the block watch members and reported to the police via phone or e-mail. If you are interested in being a member of the East Columbus Neighborhood Watch, contact Bill Adams at 253-9429 or 253-9388.
