Neighborhood Watch is a "team" approach in which the Provo Police Department works hand in hand with you and your neighbors to reduce crime in our community. The main objective of Neighborhood Watch is to reduce the incidence of crime by:
Increasing citizen's awareness of burglary and other neighborhood crime through a continuing information program. (Literature distribution)
Training citizens in the means of better property security and assist them in making their property more secure. (Operation Identification and Security Surveys)
Developing a neighborhood action program where neighbors help watch each others property and report suspicious persons and activities to law enforcement agencies. (Neighborhood Watch)
Encouraging all citizens to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in reporting crime. Enlisting each home/apartment/business in Operation Identification.
In 1998, the Rivergrove Neighborhood began working with the Provo City Police Department to develop a Mobile Watch Program. This program is similar to Neighborhood Watch in that its goal is to reduce crime through citizen involvement. The theme for Mobile Watch is "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" For more information about the Rivergrove Mobile Watch Program click HERE
