Featured article - Burglary Prevention
 

"Each year in the U.S., there are more than five million home burglaries. Nine out of ten of these crimes are preventable. The risk of being burglarized can be greatly reduced by taking simple steps to make your home more difficult to enter and less enticing to would-be burglars. Remember the greatest weapons in the fight to prevent burglaries are light, time and noise."  Read more.

 
Neighborhood Watch Program
 

The DeKalb County Police Department's Office of Community Affairs offers several programs and resources for communities and citizens of DeKalb.  Each police precinct has a Public Education Specialist who can provide information and education on a variety of topics (crime awareness strategies and safety programs, assistance with Neighborhood Watch programs and roundtables, and more).  Visit the Police website for contacts and resource pamphlet.

 

What is a Neighborhood Watch?

Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear.  Neighborhood Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon.  It forges bonds among area residents, helps reduce burglaries, entering autos, juvenile crimes, etc.  Also, it improves relations between police and the communities that they serve.

 

How can I help?

Whether the Neighborhood Watch Program is officially active or inactive for all neighborhoods, we should still watch out for each other.  One of the purposes of the website is to alert the community of suspicious activity. 

If a neighbor sees or suspects criminal activity taking place, they should first contact police by dialing 911.  Provide as many details as possible.  Please keep your Henderson Road area neighbors informed and send an email to the hendersonroad.com mailbox.    Neighbors without computer access may want to ask a neighbor to give them a courtesy phone call when new notifications are posted.
