ALERT NEIGHBORS
Alert Neighbors is a free program provided to engage neighborhoods in discussions about crime and public safety. The program instills effective collaboration and communication within neighborhoods to prevent crime and fulfill participant’s needs of security. In 2016, over 14,000 community members received Alert Neighbors training and information. Decreased incidents of crime that have an otherwise negative economic impact on society are reported in neighborhoods which participate in this program. In addition, the sense of community formed by the program frequently serves as a catalyst for neighborhoods to thrive and invest in additional positive outcomes.
In each neighborhood,
we work to:
- Increase crime reporting.
- Improve cooperation with law enforcement.
- Address community concerns.
- Educate the public on current crime trends, scams, frauds and methods of prevention and resolution.
- Reduce neighborhood crime and the opportunity for crime to occur when neighbors work together.
A cohesive neighborhood deters crime.
A fragmented neighborhood is an easier target for crime. The Alert Neighbors program teaches residents how to secure their homes, how to be safer in their homes and on the street, and what to look for and how to report that which is suspicious. The Alert Neighbors program promotes improved communication among neighbors about problems and solutions and fosters improved relations between law enforcement and the community.
Why an Alert Neighbors program?
Because it works!
Decreased burglaries and related offenses are reported by law enforcement. We are a transient society with more working families and busier lifestyles. This means homes are left empty during all hours of the day and night. This creates a target for criminal activities. An active Alert Neighbor program builds community. It often serves as a springboard for addressing other neighborhood concerns.
