What is a neighborhood watch.
A neighborhood watch is a community based group of residents or businesses working together to reduce crime and promote awareness. Creating neighborhood watch groups shares responsibility and creates ownership of an area.
Neighborhood watch groups in cooperation with police and city leaders, act as the front lines toward reducing crime and fear often associated with it. The Saginaw Police Department works with groups on an individual basis as well as a scheduled monthly meeting. At each monthly meeting, residents are supported by city leaders as well as representatives from Saginaw’s Police and Fire Departments and SCENIC.
Saginaw has a well planned Community Policing program in place. Some of the neighborhood watch areas have an assigned police officer to their area. This form of policing allows a direct and confidential conduit between citizens and the police.
Getting involved
Forming a neighborhood watch group is a simple approach to improving safety of your neighborhood. All of the required information to start a new neighborhood watch is available free from the Saginaw Police Department. Sergeant Terry Carpenter is the Community Policing Supervisor and certifies each new group in the city. If you would like more information on starting your own watch group, Sergeant Carpenter can be reached at:
