Neighborhood Watch

A good neighbor is one of the best crime prevention tools in use today to prevent crime in your neighborhood. Neighbors working together in cooperation with law enforcement is the basis of the Neighborhood Watch program.

Are you interested in establishing a Neighborhood Watch program in you neighborhood?

Follow these simple guidelines:

Contact the neighbors in your neighborhood to determine an interest in coordinating a meeting. Contact the Neighborhood Watch coordinator of the Estes Park Police Department to arrange a time and place. Meetings will usually last from one to one-and-a-half hours and can be scheduled quarterly.

The Police Department representative will provide video, lecture and informational pamphlets for participants. Training on recognizing and reporting suspicious activity as well as how to implement crime-prevention techniques will be provided. No one will be asked to place himself or herself at risk to prevent crime.

The meetings will allow neighbors to establish a working partnership with the Estes Park Police Department to address crime-related issues and prevention methods specifically designed for their neighborhoods. Community members will actively participate in crime prevention to increase personal security while developing a sense of community involvement.

Contact Community Resources at 970-577-3822 to establish your Neighborhood Watch program.
