Community Watch
Community Watch Crime Prevention Programs
The Brea Police Department Community Watch Program includes both Business and Neighborhood watch components. This police facilitated program mobilizes volunteers in both residential and business communities who want to help make their community safer by partnering with members of the Brea Police Department.
Community Watch is based on the successful Neighborhood Watch Program, which is one of the oldest and best known crime prevention concepts in North America. Neighbor helping neighbor is the approach at its most fundamental level.
Depending on the needs of the particular group, Community Watch members may patrol the areas they represent, distribute crime prevention information, participate in regular meetings to discuss area issues, manage phone, text, and /or email groups for quick dissemination of information, assist with emergency preparedness activities, conduct business assessments, etc.
