Neighborhood Watch

The Neighborhood Watch Program is a joint effort between the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office and the community.
The goal of the program is to enhance neighborhood security, heighten the community's power of observation and to encourage mutual assistance and concern among neighbors.

How Does It Work?

The main objective of the Neighborhood Watch program is to reduce the incidence of citizen's awareness of burglary and information program.
This is accomplished through:

  • Training citizens in the means of better property security.

  • Developing a neighborhood action program where neighbors help watch each other's properties and report suspicious person and activities to law enforcement agencies.

  • Encourages all citizens to cooperate with law enforcement agencies.

  • Enlists each residence in the Operation Identification program.

A Neighborhood Watch Program is the key to a safer community!
