West Shore RCMP Block Watch
November 13, 2014
Block Watch is a
community-based crime prevention program which aims to improve the quality of
life within a neighbourhood by minimizing preventable crime and promoting
closer community ties. The program relies on the community and the Police
working together in a partnership to achieve these aims. A Block Watch
committee, along with a Block Captain, hosts meetings to bring neighbours up to
date on issues pertaining to their area.
Benefits:
- Reduction in home owner's insurance;
- A general reduction in crime;
- Receive decals to place on your windows to deter crime;
- Installation of a Block Watch sign on your street.
For more information, or if you are interested in hosting/attending a Block Watch
meeting, please contact West Shore RCMP Community Policing Section at 250-391-3327.
