What is a neighborhood watch?
A neighborhood watch is a program where HOA or condo residents work together to help prevent crime in their community, keeping an eye out for suspicious activity and coordinating with local law enforcement.
Why does a neighborhood watch matter?
A visible, organized watch program can genuinely deter opportunistic crime, and it gives residents a constructive way to contribute to community safety beyond just complaining that something needs to be done.
