Neighborhood Watch & Senior Programs

Neighborhood Watch: Neighborhood Watch is a "team" approach to fighting crime in which the James City County Police Department works hand in hand with you and your neighbors to reduce crime in your community.

Neighborhood Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among area residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and improves relations between police and the communities they serve.

In order to reach this goal, we want you to become better acquainted with your neighbors while our Community Services Officers show you how to protect yourself, your neighbors and your property from crime. We also work closely with the Neighborhood Connections office to keep communities safe. Statistics and criminals alike verify that when neighbors organize, the opportunity for crime is drastically reduced.

Numerous programs are offered to seniors including presentations on ID thefts, frauds, schemes, and flim-flams.
