What is Coronado Block Watch?
This is a simple program of neighbors watching out for each other. It is designed to enlist the active participation of Coronado citizens in cooperation with the police to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
• It is becoming acquainted with your neighbors.
• It is working together to identify and solve problems in our community.
• It is helping the police by being aware of and reporting any unusual activities as they occur. You know best what is “normal” activity in Coronado.
• It is the implementation of crime prevention techniques to enhance home security.
• It is not apprehending someone. Leave that to the police.
• It is putting neighbors back into neighborhoods.
How Does Coronado Block Watch Work?
Block Watch works when you and your Coronado neighbors use simple techniques to deter, delay and detect crime, and improve the quality of life for the entire neighborhood. Being aware of criminal activity can help in keeping Coronado a safe place to live. Promptly reporting all criminal or suspicious activity to 9–1–1, or Crime Stop at 602-262-6151 helps the police assist us in promoting a safe and healthy neighborhood.
How Do I Get Started?
Since the police are unable to cover every street at all times, you can help us by volunteering for Coronado Block Watch. You and your neighbors can stay safe by looking out for one another.
Start organizing your neighbors by scheduling a Coronado Block Watch street meeting. Contact us to schedule a presentation. At your meeting, a representative of Coronado Block Watch and your Community Action Officer will explain how you can create an alert neighborhood by using simple crime prevention methods.
