A Neighborhood Watch program is a group of people living in the same area who want to make their neighborhood safer by working together and, in conjunction with local law enforcement, to reduce crime and improve their quality of life. Neighborhood Watch groups have regular meetings to discuss what is going on in their neighborhoods, how it effects the residents, and what can be done about any concerns or problems. The goal of Neighborhood Watch is to provide residents with a greater sense of security, responsibility and personal control. Contact Officer Keenan Riordan at 513-346-5530 or kriordan@springdale.org for more information.
-Neighborhood Watch Meetings are conducted every month on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7pm at the Springdale Police Station. All are encouraged to attend.
The program will provide information to the citizens who attend, so they may make informed judgments about the Springdale Police Department, other Law Enforcement Agencies, and police activity. Understanding can dispel suspicions and misconceptions, and increase police/community rapport through this educational process. The Police Department, in turn, becomes more aware of the feelings and concerns of the community through input from the students. This will help to establish open lines of communication and cooperation in our shared goal of achieving the best police service for the citizens of Springdale. It is our hope that the CPA graduates will become partners with us in identifying problems and solutions to the crime issues that are affecting our community. Contact Officer Keenan Riordan at 513-346-5530 or kriordan@springdale.org for more information.
