Neighborhood Crime Watch Program

The Neighborhood Crime Watch Program is a cooperative effort between the Richfield Police Department and individual neighborhoods. Neighborhood Crime Watch is a group of neighbors, most often living in a one block area, that have agreed to watch each others property and report suspicious or criminal activity to the police department. This program has been effective in deterring crimes such as burglary, theft, vandalism and auto theft. Due to this success, the program has gained national popularity.
