Neighborhood Watch Guidelines

The program operates on the principle that "a safe community is an engaged community." Key guidelines include:

• Be Observant: Note unusual activity, such as unfamiliar vehicles or suspicious individuals. Monitor neighbors' homes when they're away.

• Do Not Confront: If you observe suspicious behavior, safely observe from a distance and report to authorities rather than engaging directly.

• Report Suspicious Activity: For non-emergencies, contact Lead Officer Shawn Smith at 818-754-8358 or 33751@lapd.online. Always call 911 for emergencies.

• Use Your Security System: Ensure home security cameras and alarms function properly. Share relevant footage with law enforcement if needed.

• Stay Connected: Keep in touch with neighbors and stay aware of community updates. Regular communication helps identify potential issues.

Patrol Services and Neighborhood Presence

While no set patrol schedule exists, periodic security services operate in the area, providing deterrence against criminal activity.

Residents can help by:

• Being Aware: Stay alert for unusual activity and report promptly to authorities or community channels.

• Home Monitoring: Watch neighbors' properties when they're away, collect packages, and notify them of unusual occurrences.

• Security Systems: Maintain working home security systems, including cameras and alarms.
