The Block Watch crime prevention program has come to Campbell River.
Campbell River Crime Stoppers announced the program’s start-up this week.
Block Watch is described as an inclusive, community-based program that connects people, builds relationships, and creates a strong sense of community.
Participating in Block Watch involves being aware of your surroundings, talking to your neighbours, being aware of local crime trends and learning current crime prevention techniques from your local Block Watch office.
As well, when you see something suspicious or witness criminal activity, safely observe and report what you see to police and share the information with your Block Watch group. Groups can be set up in residential neighbourhoods, multi-family dwellings, and complexes.
