According to the FBI’s 2016 Crime in the United States report and the preliminary report for 2017, the number of estimated property crimes has dropped for the 14th consecutive year.
An analysis published by the Office of the Attorney General confirms that increased proactive community policing and local neighborhood crime prevention organizations have aided law enforcement in the reduction of crime rates across the nation.
Community Watch Paper is focused on the growth of neighborhood watch programs within the framework of law enforcement and community safety programs. The paper highlights the need for a neighborhood watch, the steps towards establishing a functioning watch program, maintaining and sustaining the program, reporting crimes, understanding suspicious activity, and the process of reporting and follow-up.
The community watch advisory is available at https://communitywatchpaper.org/community-neighborhood-watch and features videos and training resources by police department experts in community safety.
According to a spokesperson for the national neighborhood watch paper, “Neighbors watching out for each other’s safety and working hand in hand with local and federal law enforcement authorities are essential to the safety of public and private spaces. We are happy to support local neighborhoods with the tools and organizational information required to implement a successful watch program.”
Community Watch Paper is a local publication supporting community safety initiatives in cities across the United States. The paper acts as a knowledge base and resource repository where individuals and communities may find helpful links about state & federal community safety and crime prevention programs.
