SCRIPPS RANCH NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH

Scripps Ranch has always prided itself on being a safe and friendly community where crime rates are low and neighbors watch out for each other.  In keeping with that spirit, the Scripps Ranch Civic Association is revitalizing the Neighborhood Watch program so that it has comprehensive community-wide coverage.

Neighborhood Watch in San Diego is a crime prevention program that enlists the active participation of citizens in cooperation with local law enforcement to reduce crime.The current American system of neighborhood watches began in the late 1960s and is sponsored by local law enforcement agencies.  Residents are organized into small block or neighborhood groups.  Neighbors work with each other to protect each other and prevent crime by recognizing and reporting suspicious activities to the San Diego Police Department. This has been a highly effective program  because you and your neighbors are the people who really know what is going on in your local community. Neighbors are likely to be the first to see a crime and call for help. The program can also be helpful in case of a local emergency such as the Cedar Fires.

Volunteer block Captains hold a meeting to organize their neighbors and a list of local particpants is made and shared among the   group.  Neighborhood Watch Signs can be hung alerting miscreants that "eyes are upon them"   Rochelle Braunstein (a member of the Claude Braunstein & Associates team) is one of the area coordinators and promises that the work of the Block Captain is not arduous not time consuming.  It is a great way to get to know your neighbors .
