What is the Neighborhood Security Watch and Citizen Patrol?

The Neighborhood Security Watch Program on Oahu is sponsored by the Honolulu Police Department, and is a program which involves citizen participation in a self-help cooperative battle against crime. Its primary purpose is the protection of our communities and our property. Crime can create a climate of fear and mistrust. One of the most effective and least costly answers to crime is neighborhood watch groups. Watch groups are a foundation of community crime prevention.

Let’s keep our neighborhood safe and stay vigilant! Join the neighborhood security watch team. The team will meet once per month and walk around the neighborhood with an officer.
