NEIGHBORHOOD CRIME FACTS

  • Burglary, auto theft, thefts from vehicles and vandalism are the most prevalent neighborhood crimes
  • Household burglary is one of the easiest crimes to commit but one of the most difficult to solve
  • Most home burglars are young amateurs looking for easy targets
  • Statistics show that in over one-half of household burglaries, no forced entry was involved
  • Most household burglaries occur during daylight hours
  • Household burglary has a potential for death or injury in cases where a burglar is surprised by the owner
  • Nationally, one out of every 12 households is victimized by the crime of burglary
FACT: CONCERNED NEIGHBORS REDUCE CRIME!
Putting into practice the time-honored “good neighbor” policy is still the single most important factor in solving problems – including crime.  Maybe your neighborhood doesn’t have a crime problem, but don’t count on it.  Typically a neighborhood forms a Neighborhood Watch after a crisis has occurred.  Why not start a Neighborhood Watch today before a crisis occurs?

You can take steps to make your neighborhood a safer place to live.

HOW NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH WORKS
Neighborhood Watch operates to educate participants in the principles of deterrence, delay and detection.  The program depends on a communication network organized with three levels of participants – the residents, block captains and the Keizer Police Department.  No one is asked to take personal risks or be a hero.

More arrests come from neighbors reporting suspicious circumstances to the police than from routine police patrol.  If every person who saw suspicious activity in their neighborhood contacted the police, more criminal activity could be prevented.  Calling the police when you see something suspicious isn’t being a nosy neighbor – it’s being a considerate one!

Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective and cost efficient crime prevention programs in the country.  By deterring crime before it occurs, and adopting sound preventive techniques, we can work together to reduce it.
