Neighborhood Watch
 Neighborhood Watch is one of the most
effective ways to prevent and reduce crime,
address home and personal security, and reduce
fear and isolation. Neighborhood Watch
encourages neighbors to know each other and
watch out for each other. A good neighbor is a
highly effective crime prevention tool. Watch
groups create a sense of community and pride by
becoming unified in their desire to have a safe
and healthy neighborhood.
For more information contact Charlene Miller,
Director of our Neighborhood Watch Program at
the Boise Police Department.
