What is a Neighborhood Watch program?

A typical Neighborhood Watch block extends from intersection to intersection, both sides of the street. It not only breaks down the barriers and brings neighbors together, but it has proven to reduce crime in an area.

The neighbors are invited to attend a presentation put on by the Community Police Services Unit. The presentation is on residential and vehicle security, personal safety, and an overview of what the Salinas Police Department offers its citizens. Neighborhood Watch signs are then posted to identify the block.
