Unfortunately, this enhances the opportunities for the criminal element and increases the community�s vulnerability to crime.
That�s why a Neighborhood Watch program, which boosts communication among neighbors, can be so effective.
The Cypress Point North Neighborhood Watch program is a joint effort of the residents of Cypress Point North, the Virginia Beach Crime Prevention Steering Committee, and the Police Department. It is designed to enhance neighborhood security, heighten the community�s power of observation, and to encourage mutual assistance and concern among neighbors.
The main objective of the Neighborhood Watch program is to reduce the incidence of crime by:
1. Increasing citizens� awareness of burglary and other neighborhood crime through a continuing information program.
2. Making recommendations to assist citizens in making their property more secure.
3. Developing a neighborhood action plan where neighbors help watch each other�s property and report suspicious persons and activities to law enforcement agencies.
4. Encouraging all citizens to cooperate with law enforcement agencies in reporting crime.
Success of the Neighborhood Watch depends on each resident taking an active role in both security improvement and observation. Please make sure your Cypress Point North home is registered and that you are participating in the Neighborhood Watch.
The program costs residents nothing, but it takes a little effort from everyone to make it work.
