Did you know Cresthaven has a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH PROGRAM IN FORCE, but we need our neighbors help. Join us and Help Us Take a Stand Against Crime in our Neighborhood!
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program, which enlists the active participation of residents in cooperation with local police to prevent and reduce crime in our neighborhood. Neighborhood Watch is residents not only knowing each other, but also taking the time to care about each other and work together in a program of mutual assistance. Neighborhood Watch is about crime prevention education and the implementation of important home and personal security strategies.
Community involvement is essential to combat crime. By cooperating with each other and the police, people can fight crime in their community in the most effective way—before it begins. Please schedule to attend the next following informative neighborhood watch meeting. During our meetings we review important information to help keep our cresthaven neighborhood safer.
