Working together to prevent crime.

Join Crossroads Community Block Watch

The purpose of the Crossroads Community Block Watch Program is to deter the fear and incidence of crime in our community. The use of citizen volunteers who are committed, dedicated, and willing to take responsibility for implementing and maintaining the Block Watch Program is a major factor. District Police personnel also assist us by "working together" to reduce crime in our community.

OBJECTS

  • To achieve a major decrease in residential crime through saturation of the Block Watch program.

  • To increase the identification and reporting of suspicious activities

  • To promote neighbourhood cohesiveness

  • Blocks are geographically contained - usually 30-40 homes back alley to alley. However, this is not always possible, and blocks are split according to the number of homes.

  • Crossroads Block Watch is governed by the Board of Directors, however, all residents must take an active part in the program to ensure the continued success, involvement, and maintenance of the program. Residential crime prevention is everyone's responsibility!

  • A quarterly newsletter provides residents with detailed crime information, crime trends, and ways to reduce the possibility of being victimized.
