Welcome to the power of Community Watch. Community Watch is a system bringing citizens together with law enforcement, the fire department, health agencies, the schools, and other organizations to address issues and needs of mutual concern. Community Watch has a lot in common with Neighborhood Watch, but there are some important differences, Community Watch is what YOU need it to be, and therein lies its power.

The Citizen's Official Guide to Crime Prevention will show you just how you and your family can benefit from being involoved in a Watch program. Over the past several decades, Community Watch has become vital to the development and preservation of healthy, safe heighborhoods in cities and counties all across the USA and Canada. Whether you live in a rurual area, a coastal community, a multi-family dwelling in an urban neighborhood, or on a cul-de-sac in suburbia, this handbook will help you become productively engaged with a program that will make a difference to you and your neighborhood.

In a world of uncertainty marked by terrorist acts and limited local and state budgets, Community Watch provides an infrastructure for citizens to work together with other community memebers to find local solutions to pressing problems. In the process, many people find friendship, caring communities, and deep fullfillment.
