Neighborhood Watch
Across the nation crime is of concern to citizens in cities, suburbs, towns, and rural areas. Increasingly, citizens and law enforcement professionals realize that neither one can eradicate crime working separately. Neighbors and other concerned citizens, working cooperatively with law enforcement, can have a positive effect.
Home burglaries, in particular, can be minimized when community residents take steps to make their homes less attractive and vulnerable to burglars. Through the well recognized concept of NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, a community-based program supported by the National Sheriffs’ Association since 1972, residents of thousands of communities across the nation have discovered that they can make a difference in preventing crime.
Pembroke has joined this effort with an active Neighborhood Watch Program started in 2007. One of the most valuable competent of the program is the Neighborhood Watch E-mail list. Once on the list you will be notified you if there is criminal activity happening in your neighborhood. You also will receive monthly copies of the police arrest log as well as all press statements released by the department. To join the Neighborhood Watch E-mail list can contact Chief Scott Lane at 495-9173 or via e-mail at slane@pembroke-nh.com.
