How Can I Prevent Neighborhood Crime?

Jonathan J: What can I do to help prevent crime here in West Plains, MO?

JW: One of the best defenses that you have against crime is to get involved in your community. Neighborhood Watch groups all over the country have proven to be powerful weapons in the battle against crime. Your community might already have one – check with your local law enforcement agency. But if your neighborhood doesn’t have a crime watch group yet, I suggest that you talk to your neighbors about ways in which you can work together to clamp down on crime in your community. We’ve posted information here at the Safety Center on how you can create a neighborhood watch program for your community – check it out here.
