Neighborhood Watch Toolkit
In response to the call to involve more Americans in neighborhood safety and security, the National Neighborhood Watch has produced the its NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH TOOLKIT. The TOOLKIT provides numerous resources for law enforcement and community members working with neighborhood watch groups whether starting, revitalizing, or enhancing existing programs.
The TOOLKIT contains information for both law enforcement liaisons and neighborhood watch leaders, as self-paced learning modules (6 in total), and neighborhood watch groups and their members, as community presentations (9 in total). The self-paced learning modules are intended to prepare law enforcement liaisons and neighborhood watch leaders to teach the community presentations to neighborhood watch groups and members.
The TOOLKIT also includes a foundational module on Neighborhood Watch Basics for law enforcement liaisons, neighborhood watch leaders, and citizens/members, and a module specifically on using the TOOLKIT intended for law enforcement liaisons and neighborhood watch leaders.
Additionally, the TOOLKIT contains various tools that supplement the modules and presentations, including worksheets, forms, checklists, and flipbooks. Finally, there are road maps for both law enforcement liaisons and neighborhood watch groups.
