The principles for a Neighborhood Crime Watch Program are simple and easy to follow:
- Know your Neighbors and
- Report Suspicious Activity
 The basic idea is for neighbors to watch out for each other. By looking after a neighbors property as if it were your own, you will more likely contact the police if you observe something suspicious. Citizens act as extra "eyes and ears" for the police department so that calls to the police will be made when criminal activity is suspected. An alert and cooperative neighborhood is the greatest single defense against crime. By getting to know your neighbors and their vehicles, you will most likely be alert to suspicious people, vehicles, and/or sounds that could indicate criminal activity.
You can find out more information at the City of Plano Police Department Neighborhood Crime Watch website.
We do not currently participate in a formal Neighborhood Crime Watch Program.
If you would like to volunteer to help establish a Neighborhood Crime Watch Program for our community please review the requirements at the City of Plano Police Department Neighborhood Crime Watch website and contact the Board.
