What is Neighborhood Watch?
What is Neighborhood Watch?
A Neighborhood Watch is a community program where residents collaborate with local law enforcement to deter crime and improve safety. Members learn to secure their homes, recognize suspicious activity, and serve as the "eyes and ears" for the police. Neighborhood watch signs suggest organization and can deter some crime. Effective crime prevention depends on active communication among residents who look out for each other and promptly report suspicious activity to law enforcement.
Columbia Neighborhood Watch promotes community involvement in crime prevention by connecting people, sharing information, and hosting annual events and training sessions.
The mission of Columbia Neighborhood Watch is to inform, train, and encourage residents to collaborate in establishing neighborhood watch programs to reduce crime and increase public safety.

Neighborhood Watch on Your Block
Neighborhood Watch on Your Block
5/26/2026: In The Brooks, "Neighborhood Watch" is managed by the Neighborhood Watch/Safety Committee (NWC). This page serves as a temporary resource while the committees are being developed. Judith Henley (Jude) has played a key role in raising awareness and organizing training meetings in The Brooks, including hosting an initial meeting at The Brooks Clubhouse with 47 in attendance; 23 attended the second meeting. Jude is a member of our NWC.
You do not have to be on the committee to implement Neighborhood Watch on your block.
Neighborhood Watch is organized block by block, not for the entire neighborhood. For example, if nine homes are in a cul-de-sac and at least 50% of the families participate in Neighborhood Watch and complete the training, that block qualifies for a Neighborhood Watch sign.
You do not need to wait for the committee to be established before raising awareness on your block. If you are interested in Neighborhood Watch, speak with your near-by neighbors and encourage them to participate by attending a training course. For more information about training, visit: ColumbiaNeighborhoodWatch.org/training/.
We will also put Neighborhood Watch training meetings on The Brooks Calendar here on this website.
