WE NEED YOUR HELP
The Neighborhood Watch Directory is new and still being organized. We want everyone to be able to use this guide and find information about a watch group in their neighborhood. If you have information that we can include here, your help would be much apprecieated. Please use the link above to add your watch group, or to request information about starting a watch group.
COMMUNITY INFORMATION FAIR
We will have a table set up at the Community Information Fair being held on Friday, August 21st at St. Luke's Church. There will be more information and Community Policing officers on hand to answer questions and provide assistance to those who are interested in joining or organizing watch groups. There will be lots of other valuable and useful information available at the fair as well as fun, games, and refreshments. Admission is free and school supplies will be collected for distribution to local kids who need them and can't afford them due to the economy.
