Neighborhood Watch ProgramThe Neighborhood Watch program started in 1972 as a national movement that encourages citizens to partner with police to reduce crime in their area. The motto of Neighborhood Watch is, “We Look Out For Each Other.” The goal is to reduce crime by encouraging the public to take an active part in the safety of their neighborhood. Through this program citizens maintain a safe neighborhood through vigilance and cooperation with police.
The first step in starting your own Neighborhood Watch is to talk to your neighbors. Once you’ve established interest in your area, contact the Burbank Police Department’s Community Resource Officer to set up a date for an officer to attend a meeting, discuss the dynamics of Neighborhood Watch, address your neighborhood’s concerns and guide you in your future endeavors. If you would like to start a Neighborhood Watch program in your area of Burbank, we will provide you with a booklet on “How to Start” the program.
For more information, contact the Community Resource Officer at (818)238-3235.
