Neighborhood Watch

snowboarding · February 2009

Hey! Does anyone have any info on how to go about starting a neighborhood watch? My boss was telling me how a few years back they had started a grass roots neighborhood watch for her hood on the upper westside. She wasn't really a part of it so couldn't really give me all that much info.

Anyway, I think it would be great to start one in my hood and it would allow more people to meet their nieghbors, as well as, having a number of people to look out for one another and possibly work together to promote issues and have a voice within the city gov't.

Neighbrohood watch wtf. This isnt the bill cosby tv brooklyn. Oh wait. I didnt read that whole shit. Well ok... u have some good reasons but just dont go around trying to snitch on people that have nothing to do with you unless they've done something outrageous... it brings bad karma.

Go to your local police community board meeting, meet your community relations officers and tell them you want to do the blockwatchers program. It's a formal training the NYPD offers to residents/block associations and you are assigned a number which you use to call in to 911 anonymously.

Hey, relax.. just an idea I'm throwing out there. Like I said I was talking to my boss and it seemed like a possible idea. I agree w/ the karma comment 100%! And I'm not a snitch. But I do believe that the city is a great opportunity to develop community to promote change, thats all.

Thanks for the input lorenzo

I think it is a great idea that you want to be involved in your community. You can't possibly take anyone that would think you are a snitch seriously when that is not the purpose of a community watch program.
