Neighborhood Watch is an organized group of neighbors who closely observe any activity or situation that affects the appearance or safety of their community. They are the eyes and ears for law enforcement agencies and their neighbors. Their goal is to create an environment where people care about each other, their property, their safety, and their community.
Members of a Neighborhood Watch group can improve the quality of life in their community. They can reduce the occurrence of and deter crimes by looking out for each other and reporting any suspicious activity to the police department.
NOTE: The Montclair Police Department does not organize or maintain Neighborhood Watch programs. However, if you are interested in forming a program or already have one in place our officers will gladly speak to your group regarding any areas of concern in your community and provide information regarding Neighborhood Watch programs. Please call the Community Relation Division Lieutenant at (909) 448-3603 to schedule a speaker request.
