Have you ever seen the big blue signs posted in some neighborhoods that read:
"Protected by Neighborhood Watch - Sponsored by the City of Manassas"
Did you ever wonder how you could get a sign like that for your neighborhood?
Neighborhood Watch is a free service of the City of Manassas. First, decide how many homes to include in your watch. There is no maximum number, but a manageable number of homes is between 60 and 100.
Next, contact the Officer Scott Stallard at 703-257-8000 and your Neighborhood Watch Coordinator will mail you a package of information including a book on the role of the Neighborhood Watch Citizen Coordinator. You will be required to establish that at least 50 percent of the homes that you targeted are in support of the Watch.
After 50 percent of the neighborhood has agreed to participate, you will work with your police coordinator to set up two training meetings that can be held in someone's home, or at a local church or school. Once the training is completed, the signs will go up, and your home will become a part of the many successful Neighborhood Watch groups operating in City of Manassas.
As a Neighborhood Watch group you will receive Crime Reports, Crime Alerts and you will be contacted regularly by your police officer coordinator to monitor the effectiveness of your Watch programs.
Don't wait any longer! Neighborhood Watch neighborhoods are believed to be 20 times safer than those areas without the program.
