Ohio's Neighborhood Watch Programs

What can older Ohio cities like Lorain, Lakewood, Elyria and Cleveland do to increase safety and fight crime - on very limited budgets? The Neighborhood Watch Program has a proven track record at getting the public involved in safety issues within their neighborhoods. As a young Military Police Officer at Fort Hood, Texas I was in charge of the post Neighborhood Watch program. The program was directly responsible for improving neighborhood safety on a number of levels.

Whether a rural community, a new suburban city, or an older urban area - Neighborhood Watch Programs can help increase safety and public awareness in your neighborhood. Contact your local law enforcement agency and volunteer in your community today!!
