What is Neighborhood Crime Watch? 

Neighborhood Crime Watch is a Crime Prevention Program of the Aberdeen Police Department.  It is one of the most effective and least costly ways of reducing and/or preventing residential property crimes.  It is a citizen involvement, neighborhood and community based effort designed to assist citizens and the police in reducing crime and increasing an overall sense of peace, safety and security in the neighborhood.

The program’s success is hinged on improving communications between neighbors and achieving and sustaining an appropriate level of neighbor involvement to a point where the neighbors realize a reduction and/or achieves prevention of burglaries and other property crimes.

If you are a citizen of Aberdeen and would like information regarding the Aberdeen Crime Watch or to become a member please contact Sgt. Shawn Newman at (937) 795-2214.
