Community Crime Prevention Programs
Related services
Programs modeled on block parent programs that offer a temporary safe haven for people who are being threatened, intimidated or otherwise endangered and are in immediate need of assistance. The safe places are generally located within a community facility identified by a visible logo; and provide a chance for the person to calm down, call police if needed, contact a family member or friend for assistance, or obtain other forms of support. The facilities may be open to the community at large or be targeted to meet the needs of specific groups within the broader population such as young people.
Programs that encourage total community involvement in discouraging preventable crime by organizing awareness meetings to help neighbors get to know one another and look out for each other, learn to secure their property, and recognize and report suspicious activity. Technical assistance may also be provided. Included are Park Watch programs that encourage residents to be on the lookout for and report vandalism or other criminal activity in local parks.
