FVPD Neighborhood Watch

You've heard the name "Neighborhood Watch" but do you know what our organization does or who is involved in it? Neighborhood Watch is an organization that was created to teach people how to protect themselves from crime and how to work in conjunction with the Police Department. The goal of our program is crime prevention through community involvement, "neighbor helping neighbor". Our program provides you the opportunity to meet your neighbors and Fountain Valley Police Department personnel through Neighborhood Watch meetings.

Neighborhood Watch has been active in Fountain Valley for 28 years. It consists of over 450 volunteers who help run various programs and assist in delivering regular bulletins to all homes in the City. These bulletins alert residents to recent burglaries in their area, inform residents on crime prevention topics, City activities and special events in the community.

Neighborhood Watch is based on the theory that if you know your neighbors and they know you, you can keep the Police Alert to suspicious activity in your neighborhood. What Neighborhood Watch wants from you is your involvement. This means reading the bulletins and calling the Neighborhood Watch Office to set up a meeting in your home, church or school. Hosting a Neighborhood Watch meeting is simple, all it takes is arranging a date with the Neighborhood Watch Office and handing out our flyers in your immediate area notifying your neighbors of the meeting. A Neighborhood Watch representative and a Police Officer will speak on the specific concerns in your neighborhood. This will help make your neighborhood feel more like a community than just the place where you live.
