Neighborhood Crime Prevention

Living in a neighborhood with any crime can be stressful and unsettling. Fortunately, there are several steps that you can take to make our neighborhood a safer place to live. In this post, we will discuss some of the things you can do to address crime in our neighborhood.

• Get Involved: One of the best ways to combat crime in our neighborhood is to get involved in community activities. Attend neighborhood meetings and get to know your neighbors. Participation is needed to create a successful neighborhood watch program. A powerful sense of community can deter crime and make the neighborhood a safer place to live.
• Report Suspicious Activity: If you notice any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, report it to the police. It is important to remember you can report suspicious activity anonymously if you are concerned about retaliation.
• Improve Lighting: Good lighting can deter criminal activity. If there are areas of our neighborhood that are poorly lit, let the neighborhood association know so they can work with the city to improve street lighting. At your residence, make sure all outside lighting is functioning correctly and consider adding extra lighting.
• Install Security Cameras: Installing security cameras can help deter crime and capture evidence if a crime occurs. 
• Keep Your Property Secure: Make sure that your home and property are secure. Lock your doors and windows and keep valuable items out of sight. If you have a security system, make sure that it is in good working order and use it.
• Clean Up the Neighborhood: Keep the neighborhood clean and tidy. Report and/or remove graffiti, pick up trash, and maintain the landscaping. Store trash receptacles away from the curb. Avoid front yard parking. Take advantage of neighborhood cleanups to dispose of unwanted items. A clean and well-maintained neighborhood is less likely to attract criminal activity.

In conclusion, there are many things that you can do to combat crime in our neighborhood. Getting involved in community activities, reporting suspicious activity, improving lighting, installing security cameras, keeping your property secure, and cleaning up the neighborhood are all steps that you can take to make our neighborhood a safer place to live. Remember that making our neighborhood safer is a collective effort and requires everyone to do their part. By working together, you can help create a safer and more vibrant community.
