Neighborhood Watch Program Committee
""Block Captains""
Roy Cash; Tony Castro; Mike Hepler; Ron Wiggins
Purpose:
The essence of the neighborhood watch program primarily revolves around each person knowing each of their individual neighbors surrounding their individual home. By knowing the neighbors and knowing the neighbor’s routines and habits, there becomes a reason to be suspicious when some event falls out of those habits and routines. Appropriate action can then be taken to prevent crime in the neighborhood.
The Town of Collierville Police sets up these programs and they will assist with education, brochures, stickers, etc., to help develop a program.
