Maryland Community Crime Prevention Institute Sexual Assault Prevention Tips For Communities Successful crime prevention efforts on the part of an individual go beyond personal and home security. Individuals need to join with all segments of the community to participate in collaborative efforts to prevent crime. Community groups and organizations can play a major role in getting information out to citizens about types of crime in their neighborhoods and steps they can take to help prevent crime and sexual assault. Following are some suggested community programs. COMMUNITY SEXUAL ASSAULT PREVENTION AWARENESS PROGRAMS McGRUFF HOUSE OR SIMILAR "SAFE" HOUSE A McGruff House is a national program which is in place in many communities in an effort to provide a place where children can go if they feel threatened or need assistance, especially on their way to or from school. In the McGruff House program, community members who are home during the day and are interested in being a McGruff House volunteer can apply to their local law enforcement to join. If they successfully complete the training, criminal background check, and other criteria, they are issued a McGruff House Poster which is then prominently placed in a window of their home. The McGruff Poster signifies to children in need of assistance that the house is a place where they can go for help. Other similar "safe" house programs may also be instituted, but proper criteria, especially requirement of criminal history background checks of all individuals living in the house, is a must.

Neighborhood Watch Click on McGruff to report a crime or suspicious activity in the Douglas County area. What is Neighborhood Watch? Neighborhood Watch is a group of neighbors looking out for neighbors. It is getting to know each other and becoming familiar with your neighbor's habits and vehicles so that you will know when something is suspicious or out of the ordinary. In addition to recognizing potential suspicious activities, Neighborhood Watch participants report such activity by calling 911. After calling 911, also notify your Watch Chairperson. All of this doesn't make you a nosy neighbor - it makes you a good neighbor in the old-fashioned sense of the word. Many people don't want to bother the police because they are afraid that it may not be a real emergency or that they may be embarrassed if their suspicions turn out to be unfounded. The police would much rather be called out to investigate than to be called after a crime has been committed. When in doubt, always call 911. The 911 dispatch center is staffed with trained operators who will evaluate your call, rank its priority, and dispatch it to the appropriate officer. Neighborhood Watch does NOT mean being a vigilante. Participants do not confront suspects or take any personal risks at all.

They know better than police who's normally in their neighborhood and who isn't, and what behaviors are out of the ordinary. "We try to tell communities the importance of watching out for each other," says Robert E. Lassahn, crime-prevention specialist with the Maryland Community Crime Prevention Institute in Woodstock. "It's neighbors looking out for one another." There are a number of groups that can help you set up neighborhood programs to deter crime. Here are some of the best, say crime-prevention experts. Hands-on help from the police In many communities, police will help you organize crime-watch groups, such as Neighborhood Watch, Block Watch, or Apartment Watch-what Nashville police crime-prevention officer Shawn Parris calls "a free alarm system." The police will show members how to set up a group and run it. "They make sure you understand that you're out there as extra eyes and ears," explains Matt Peskin of the National Association of Town Watch. "They teach you what to look for, what's suspicious, what might raise the hair on the back of your neck, and how to report it."

Animal Control Code Enforcement Parking Control Emergency Preparednes ... Documents Related to Neighborhood Watch About Neighborhood Watch Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program that teaches citizens techniques to reduce the risk of being a victim at home or in public by training citizens on the importance of recognizing suspicious activities and how to report them. Residents learn how to make their homes more secure and properly identify their property. Neighborhood Watch allows neighbors to get to know each other and their routines so that any out of place activity can be reported and investigated. Implementation of a Neighborhood Watch on your block could result in substantial reductions of crimes. Neighborhood Watch works because people want to assume a more active role in making their communities safe. Residents within a neighborhood know who belongs there and who doesn't and what activity is suspicious. Citizens will work with, instead of relying on, law enforcement to combat crime in their community. The Neighborhood Watch Program consists of a series of activities designed to improve the safety of the City through the participation of its residents. The activities include Neighborhood Watch Meetings, Business Watch and the Community Awareness Program.

Plato In order for Crime to occur, three elements must be present. These are Desire Ability Opportunity These elements of crime are usually depicted in a triangle. As with any triangle, if a single leg is missing, a triangle cannot be formed. This holds true in regard to crime as well. If any one of these is missing, no crime will occur. The main objective of Crime Prevention is to reduce the opportunity for crime, thereby reducing the likelihood that crime will occur. In our " Elements of Crime" Triangle, by removing any one of the legs of the triangle, one removes the crime. One can remove the desire to commit a crime by educating. One can remove the ability to commit a crime by incarcerating, and one can remove the opportunity to commit a crime by target-hardening. Effective Crime Prevention incorporates all of these things.

Released: May 18, 1999 Neighborhood Watch effective for crime prevention By Senior Airman Brian Jones 20th Fighter Wing Public Affairs SHAW AIR FORCE BASE, S.C. (ACCNS) - Do you know your neighbors? Are you concerned with crime in your community? Who is going to look out for your property when you're TDY or on leave? A Neighborhood Watch program can alleviate all of these concerns. Neighborhood Watch, Block Watch, Town Watch or Crime Watch - whatever the name, it's one of the most effective and least-costly ways to prevent crime and fear, according to the National Crime Prevention Council. "Everybody keeps talking about starting a program, but are reluctant to participate," said Staff Sgt. Travis Lusk, crime prevention manager. "People actually need to be involved to have a successful program." To start a Neighborhood Watch, a resident begins by contacting the security forces' crime prevention manager for all the training and information needed to initiate a program. The residents then designate a coordinator and block captain, who goes through block captain training to learn how to organize meetings and relay information to the other members.
