<br />. <br /> <br />Crime Prevention Services <br /> <br />The Neighborhood Watch Program <br /> <br />This program has proven to be one of the most effective and least costly <br />answers in preventing crime in our neighborhoods. A neighborhood watch <br />group is an association of neighbors who agree to look out for the safety and <br />security of every member of their neighborhood community. This is done by <br />neighborhoods getting to know each other and through continued <br />communication with each other and the sheriffs office. The neighborhood' <br />watch program works to educate its participants in the principles of <br />deterrence, detection, and the reporting of crimes and suspicious activity. <br /> <br />When I started in June we had 83 active neighborhood watch groups within <br />our contract communities. Through my efforts thus far we have a total of <br />113 neighborhood watch groups. <br /> <br />The following is a breakdown by community of our current neighborhood <br />watch groups. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Arden Hills <br />Gem Lake <br />Little Canada <br />North Oaks <br />Shoreview <br />Vadnais Heights <br />White Bear Twp <br /> <br />13 <br />Pending <br />16 <br />2 <br />36 <br />19 <br />27 <br /> <br />The Business Watch Program <br /> <br />This program has proved to be one of the most effective and least costly <br />answers to preventing crime in business areas. <br /> <br />A business watch group is an association of businesses who agree to look <br />out for the safety and security of every member oftheir business community. <br />This is done by owners, managers, and employees getting to know each <br />other and through continued communication with each other. <br /> <br />The business watch program works to educate its participants in the <br />principles of deterrence, detection and reporting of crimes and suspicious <br />activity. <br /> <br />. <br />
