Take Ownership Of Your Neighborhood

There are many challenges facing the city, and it's important that everyone who lives in the community takes ownership of their neighborhoods. Ald. Witkowiak wants to remind you that one very important way you can do that is by forming or joining a Block Watch neighborhood organization. Block Watch is a free, community-based, crime prevention program administered by the Community Services Division of the Milwaukee Police Department.

The goal is to help residents organize their neighborhoods to prevent crime in the community. Nobody knows a neighborhood better than the people who live in that neighborhood. Participants watch out for their neighbor's property and report suspicious activities to the police. Block Watch is a great way to get to know your neighbors, and by collaborating with police make our neighborhoods safer.

Each police district sponsors a community liaison officer and a series of crime analysis meetings for the area. Ald. Witkowiak highly encourages you to get involved in these meetings and be a positive force for change in your neighborhoods.
