Crime Prevention
Programs
RNW organizes and empowers residents to take responsibility for their neighborhoods by building positive neighbor-to-neighbor and productive community-law enforcement partnerships. We promote cooperation among neighbors to build neighborhood stability. Through our informational programs, meetings, and events, we educate residents about safety, crime prevention, and dealing with quality-of-life concerns.

Programs
Neighborhood Block Watch
A Neighborhood Block Watch is one of the most effective ways to prevent crime. It relies on the best crime-fighting tool ever created – a good neighbor. It depends on a communication network among all block watchers, law enforcement, and RNW.
Apartment Watch
The Apartment Watch program is like a Neighborhood Block Watch, except the building complex constitutes the “neighborhood” rather than the physical location of homes on a street. It, too, relies on collaboration among tenants, management, law enforcement, and RNW Business Watch.
Business Watch
A Business Watch program educates business owners about safety and proactive crime prevention techniques, strategies, and best practices so they can establish and maintain a safe, friendly, and vibrant business environment.
Dog Walker Program
The Dog Watcher program engages community members in promoting safety through the eyes and ears of their canine companions.
