Neighborhood Watch

What is Neighborhood Watch? 
The Neighborhood Watch Program was developed to bring together Law Enforcement teams and private citizens in a cooperative effort working together for the betterment of all our citizens. This is simply a program of neighbors watching out for each other. It is designed to enlist the active participation of citizens in cooperation with the police to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods. 

The specific and primary purposes of the Fresno Police and Neighborhood Watch Association is:

• To become acquainted with your neighbors.
• To work together to identify and solve problems in your area of our community.
• To report "abnormal" activity in your neighborhood.
• To implement crime prevention techniques to enhance home security.
• Not to apprehend suspects, leave that to the police. It is putting neighbors back into neighborhoods
• To work together for the betterment of living conditions for all residents of Fresno through participation in anti-crime and community services activities.

How Does Neighborhood Watch Work? 
Neighborhood Watch works by having you and your neighbors use simple techniques to deter, delay and detect crime, and improve the quality of life for the neighborhood. 

Being aware of criminal activity can help in keeping your neighborhood safe. Promptly reporting all criminal or suspicious activity to -911-, or Fresno P.D. at 559-621-7000, helps the police to assist you in promoting a safe and healthy neighborhood.
