How to start a
Neighborhood Watch
The first step in organizing a
Neighborhood Watch group is to contact the Community Relations
Division at (504) 712-2294 or by e-mailing the Community
Relations Division at nguggenheim@kennerpd.com. You may also write to us at:
| Kenner Police Department
c/o: |
| Neighborhood Watch Program
Coordinator |
| 500 Veterans Blvd. |
| Kenner, LA 70063 |
You should determine the geographic area
that your Neighborhood Watch will encompass. This should
include only the homes on your street. It may include a
cul-de-sac in the middle of your block, but not the streets on
either side of yours. It is
recommended that no more than 25-30 homes be in any one
Neighborhood Watch group.
Canvass your neighborhood for interest,
discuss crime problems in your area and how residents can work
together to help prevent crime. When talking to your
neighbors, be sure to mention the following:
- Neighborhood Watch does not require
frequent meetings
|
- It does not ask that anyone take
any personal risks to prevent crime
|
- Neighborhood Watch groups only
report crime - it is the police's responsibility to
apprehend criminals
