Neighborhood Watch

What is Neighborhood Watch?

Neighborhood Watch is a cooperative partnership between the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office and you, the citizens of Bibb County. In this partnership, the Sheriff’s Office will give you tips to help make your neighborhood safer. In turn, you will be our eyes and ears to let us know of suspicious and/or criminal activities.

Through Neighborhood Watch we encourage neighbor participants to get to know each other and their routines so that any out of place activities can be observed, reported, and investigated.

Through Neighborhood Watch we teach participants techniques to reduce the risk of being victimized in their homes, in their vehicles, and in public places.

Through Neighborhood Watch we teach participants the importance of recognizing suspicious activities and sounds. We teach how to evaluate them and then how to properly report them.

Through Neighborhood Watch we teach participants how to make their homes more secure. We show how to properly identify their property and how to look out for each other.

What it isn’t…

Neighborhood Watch is an important crime deterrent program but it is NOT…

A vigilante force working outside the normal procedures of the Sheriff’s Office
A certain guarantee that crime will not happen in your neighborhood
A program designed for participants to undertake personal risk to deter crime

And, more importantly, participants are the eyes and ears,
NOT the strong arm of the law.
