There are many great plans for Neighborhood Watch Programs, Ride-Along Programs, Community Policing, and Business Watch Programs. These community policing efforts do help, and they do prevent crime. They work best when they are done in conjunction with the local police department and have the blessings of the powers that be in town - including the City Council. Now then when we combine all these aspects of becoming the eyes-and-ears for the police department and integrate all of these components, it makes for a terrific program.
This is a plan on how to start a successful Neighborhood Mobile Watch Program utilizing the business community and chamber of commerce. It works.
