NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH For more than 30 years, law enforcers and their civilian partners have been working together to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in neighborhoods around the country. Traditionally, a Neighborhood Watch group is led by a resident who is actively involved and dedicated to safety and issues facing his or her neighborhood.
