Neighborhood Watch Program
You and your neighbors can help prevent and reduce crime in your neighborhood by participating in the Dublin Neighborhood Watch Program. This program is an association of neighbors who look out for each other’s families and property, alert the police to any suspicious activities in progress, and work together to make their community a safer and better place to live.
Designed by the Dublin Division of Police, this program allows residents to make a difference in their neighborhood.
Residents interested in forming a Neighborhood Watch group in their subdivisions can get started by taking the following steps:
-
Contact Sgt. Rodney Barnes, Dublin Division of Police, at 614-410-4805, to discuss the Neighborhood Watch Program and local crime problems.
-
Host a neighborhood meeting to gauge neighbors’ interest and begin to identify neighborhood issues that need to be addressed.
-
Invite a Dublin Police Officer to attend this meeting to discuss details of the program and answer any questions.
-
Elect a chairperson to serve as liaison with the Division of Police and relay information about meetings and crime incidents to block captains.
-
Coordinate and train block captain volunteers who are responsible for relaying information to members on their block, keeping up-to-date information on residents and making special efforts to involve everyone.
-
Establish a regular means of communicating with Watch members.
