What is a Neighborhood Watch?

A Neighborhood Watch program empowers residents to actively participate in protecting their community. It's not about vigilante justice; it's about heightened awareness, communication, and collaboration with law enforcement. Members look out for suspicious activity, report concerns, and build a network of trust and support.

How Gateway's Neighborhood Watch Works

Our program focuses on these key elements:

Community Communication: Regular communication is vital. We use email updates, social media groups, and occasional neighborhood meetings to share information and concerns.
Increased Awareness: By being more aware of your surroundings, you become a stronger deterrent to crime. Knowing your neighbors and their routines is also important.
Reporting Suspicious Activity: Promptly reporting suspicious activity to the police is crucial. This helps law enforcement respond quickly and effectively.
Building Relationships: Neighborhood Watch fosters strong neighborly relationships, building a sense of community and mutual support.
