| Neighborhood Watch is proud to be in the City of Cape Coral and we want more people involved in preventing crime! What's in it for you? Safer streets and homes, community spirit, camaraderie with your neighbors, stronger relationships with law enforcement, and so much more. It's easy to participate in the program. Neighborhood Watch embraces and strengthens many of the things we already do, such as watching out for each others homes or working together to solve community problems. But Neighborhood Watch also brings the power of organization and the ability to focus energy and resources. Often Neighborhood Watch groups get started because there have been incidents in the community that have caused concern – acts of vandalism, burglaries, or auto thefts. These are the types of crimes that Neighborhood Watch is most successful in reducing. An active Watch Group can also help reduce drug dealing, discourage gangs, improve security of young people, and help older neighbors stay safe from crime. |
The prevention of crime – particularly crime involving residential neighborhoods – is a responsibility that must be shared equally by law enforcement and private citizens. The fact is, the impact on crime prevention by law enforcement alone is minimal when compared with the power of private citizens working with law enforcement and with each other. Neighborhood Watch is based on this conception of cooperation. When citizens take positive steps to secure their own property and neighbors learn how to report suspicious activity around their homes to law enforcement, burglary and related offenses decrease dramatically.
