Around the country, neighbors for three decades have banded together to create Neighborhood Watch programs. They understand that the active participation of neighborhood residents is a critical element in community safety - not through vigilantism, but simply through a willingness to look out for suspicious activity in their neighborhood, and report that activity to law enforcement and to each other.

Many neighborhoods already have established Neighborhood Watch programs that are vibrant and effective. For those that do not, the San Bruno Police Department is prepared to work with residents to participate in this important community-based effort on behalf of their friends and neighbors. And when you help your neighbors, you help your community.

The residents of a block agree to work together to add MORE EYES & MORE EARS, and to report suspicious activities to the police, who cannot be everywhere ALL the time.

Be part of the Neighborhood Watch Program.

The San Bruno Citizens Crime Prevention Committee, that oversees the Neighborhood Watch Program, meets at 7:00 p.m. the 2nd Thursday monthly in City Hall Room 113 and YOU are welcome.
