How To Serve Your Community
The Arlington Police Department cannot emphasize enough the
importance of knowing the names and faces of those living in your
community. Equally important to know are the names and faces of
those policing your community.
Community Watch Groups
Community Watch Groups were
developed to encourage citizen
involvement and deter crime by
early detection. Citizens volunteer
to become extra eyes for the police
department, reporting crime and
suspicious behavior. in their neighborhoods, and how to
take action that removes or reduces
those risks. A Community Watch
Organization is a proven crime
reduction program; but like any self-
help activity, its success depends
upon you and your neighbors.
Citizens learn to anticipate, recog-
nize, and appraise the crime risks Active Community Watch Groups
meet on a routine basis with police
personnel to discuss observa-
tions and events occurring in your
community. Your patrol personnel
are there to assist you in resolving
police related issues in eff ort to
provide you with the best possible
quality of life within your neighbor-
hood.
