NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH: Neighbors looking after neighbors
To prevent and reduce crime in our neighborhoods through active participation from our citizens, community partners, police departments and Sheriff’s Office to enhance greater public safety in our communities.
Neighborhood Watch is a tool to bring neighbors into the work of improving the quality of life and crime issues in a given neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch creates opportunities for concerned citizens to partner with law enforcement officers in identifying neighborhood issues while implementing ways of improving them.
The Hampden County Sheriff’s Office coordinators work in the nine sectors of Springfield with a focus on getting more community residents involved in attending the B-Management and C3 Policing meetings. The focus of both meetings is to share information while working to improve the quality of life and crime issues in each sector and neighborhood.
Working together, neighbors learn how to protect property, increase personal safety and reduce the risk of crime. Neighbors become more alert to unusual or suspicious circumstances, individuals or vehicles. They call the police to report unusual activities, even if their suspicion proves unfounded. This proactive approach can reduce the risk of neighbors becoming victims of crime.
When alert citizens keep the police informed, the police are far more effective against crime – and citizens have better protection and safer neighborhoods.
