 Neighborhood Watch What is "Neighborhood Watch"? Neighborhood Watch is a citizen's involvement program, where citizens, in cooperation with the Sheboygan Falls Police Department, directly participate in the detection and prevention of crime. Basically, neighbors watching out for one another. Neighborhood Watch can, and will, make your community a better and safer place to live. Neighborhood Watch citizens provide information to the police, who will investigate suspicious activities, apprehend criminals, and prevent crime. How does "Neighborhood Watch" work? There are three simple steps to the Neighborhood Watch Program: 1. You see a crime or suspicious activity in your neighborhood. 2. You immediately report what you have observed to the police. 3. Police respond to your call and investigate or apprehend the criminal. What is "suspicious activity"? Suspicious activity is any activity that occurs that DOES NOT FIT the norm of your neighborhood-YOU know YOUR neighborhood. (Includes people, vehicles, sounds, etc.) Are there any neighborhoods participating? The Sheboygan Falls Police Department welcomes our very first officially organized Neighborhood Watch Program. The area of Acacia Falls and Forest Blvd. have been designated Neighborhood Watch Neighborhood #1. Residents of the neighborhood have joined together in making their neighborhood safer by volunteering as block captains and participants. Already, several concerns have been addressed including loud noise issues, suspicious activity, and reckless driving. We look forward to working with the neighborhood watch members in making Sheboygan Falls an even nicer place to be. If anyone is interested in participating in the program within your neighborhood please contact the police department at (920)467-7902 or visit us in person at 375 Buffalo Street.
