Receiving and keeping Neighborhood Watch signs for your area

In order to receive your signs, it is necessary to have representation from at least 50% of the homes in your Neighborhood Watch group at each meeting.  It is not necessary that the same homes be represented each time a meeting is held, only that you have at least 50% of the homes in your area.

Your Neighborhood Watch signs will be posted approximately 2-4 weeks after we receive the sign-in sheet from your second meeting.  The second meeting may be held any time up to a year after the first meeting.  The location of the signs will be determined by a Community Relations Officer.

In order to keep the signs, your Neighborhood Watch group must hold at least two meetings per year.  These may be formal or informal just as long as they offer neighbors a chance to stay informed and get acquainted.  Participation in the National Night Out Against Crime, as well as various other types of block parties or social functions will also count towards your two meetings.

We also suggest that your group walk the neighborhood to check street lighting.  If you encounter any malfunctioning lighting, please report it to us immediately.

To receive credit for a meeting, be sure to keep attendance and mail your sign-in sheets to the Community Relations Division at: 

You may also e-mail attendance to the Community Relations Division at nguggenheim@kennerpd.com.  Doing this ensures that your signs will not be removed. 

Please remember that Neighborhood Watch groups that do not meet the minimum criteria of at least two meetings per year will have their signs removed.
