Block Watch is all about neighbours helping neighbours.
Households, apartments or condominiums on a block form a communication
chain aided by a map of names, telephone numbers and addresses.
Participants watch out for each others' homes and report suspicious
activities to the police and each other. This communication is crucial
in reducing the likelihood of residential crime.
Don't sit back, be proactive, and take part in your community.
A break and enter can be prevented if criminals know there are watchful
neighbours. Get involved with Block Watch now, before you have been
a victim of a break and enter. |
Together we can make a difference.
Get involved; it will help to reduce crime in your neighbourhood. |
The Block Watch program at the Vancouver Police Department operates under the mandate of the
Block Watch Society of British Columbia (BWSBC).
The BWSBC is a non-profit society and administrator to Block Watch programs throughout British Columbia.
A Police officer will attend your apartment, condominium or business, and will do a site survey and assess
for potential weaknesses that criminals could exploit to their advantage.
Call 604-717-2857 for more information. |
