Good Day Neighborhood Watch Block Captain,
Our city is built on the strength of our citizens. We often encounter situations calling upon us to be the eyes and ears of law enforcement.
Not only does neighborhood watch allow you to help in the fight against crime, it is also an opportunity for communities to bond through service. The Neighborhood Watch Program draws upon the compassion of average citizens, asking them to lend their neighbors a hand.
The Neighborhood Watch Unit has over 900 Block Captains that work hard every day to help keep Orlando a safe city. The members of the Orlando Police Department appreciate the support and assistance of each and every Neighborhood Watch member and hope that you will continue to be vigilant in reporting suspicious activity by calling 9-1-1.
Here are a few friendly reminders that we would like you to share with your neighbors:
1. Do not approach, follow or make any contact with suspicious persons or vehicles.
2. Do not use the Telephone Chain Card to call neighbors for anything that is not crime prevention related.
3. Do not share the Telephone Chain Card with anyone who is not a part of your Neighborhood Watch Group.
REMEMBER:
Neighborhood Watch members serve solely as the extra "eyes and ears"
of law enforcement.
Neighborhood Watch members should report their observations of suspicious activities to law enforcement by calling 9-1-1.
Never try to take action on those observations.
Only trained law enforcement should take action.
Please share this with ALL of your Neighborhood Watch members and neighbors.
National Night Out - August 7, 2012...What will your neighborhood do to support our safe city?
