Dear Neighbors:  

​

Neighborhood Watch, Block Watch, Town Watch, Crime Watch -- no matter what it's called, this is

one of the most influential and free answers to crime prevention. Watch groups are the foundation

of community crime prevention and are often the stepping stones of community revitalization. 

Law enforcement believes in "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" and works with groups to facilitate

Block Watch programs. Block Watch brings residents and law enforcement together to improve safety and prevent crime. Safety improves when neighbors watch out for each other by reporting suspicious activity and in-progress crimes to 911. Crime prevention occurs when the opportunity for crime is removed, and neighbors work together for a safer neighborhood.

Angola Beach and Estates Neighborhood Watch Members are here as a second set of eyes and ears for our community. We've all heard the expression "See something, say something.." if you see something that is not right – speak up. It's that simple. Angola Beach and Estates Neighborhood Watch is all volunteer; we use our cars, golf carts, and bikes to ensure our community stays at its best.
