Neighborhood Watch

The purpose of Neighborhood Watch is to promote neighborhood safety and security.   The Police Department depends on citizens to help by reporting suspicious activities and crimes. Neighborhood Watch works by developing a strong sense of community, where neighbors know enough about one another to know when they need help.  As a participant, you are eligible to receive a free home security analysis by a specially trained officer.  If you are interested call 713.662.5869.  We will provide you with the information for the block captain on your street.  If your street does not have a block captain, perhaps you would be interested in working with the police department in starting a program on your street.
