Neighborhood Watch

Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program that enlists the active participation of citizens, in cooperation with the Upper Arlington Police Division, to reduce crime in their neighborhoods. Networks of neighbors are trained by the Division's crime prevention officers on how to serve effectively as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement.

Neighborhood Watch elements include:

• Neighbors getting to know each other and working together in a program of mutual assistance
• Citizens being trained to recognize and report suspicious and criminal activities in their neighborhood such as burglary, larceny, vandalism, and littering 
• Communication between the Police Division and Neighborhood Watch members via a quarterly newsletter
  

Persons interested in forming a Neighborhood Watch group may contact the Upper Arlington Police Division at 614-583-5195.
