A Neighborhood Watch group is an association of neighbors who look out for each others’ families and property, alert the police to any suspicious activities or crime in progress and work together to make their community a safer and better place to live.

Neighborhood Watch is one of the most effective and least costly answers to crime. Neighborhood Watch Groups are the foundation of community crime prevention. You and your neighbors can build your neighborhood community into a safer, friendlier and more caring place to live and raise your families. A Neighborhood Watch Group can be a stepping stone to keeping your subdivision vital and improving the quality and safety of your community life. Get to know your neighbors and watch out for each other. Neighborhood Watch opens up lines of communication between neighbors and Lemont Police Department.

Individual or groups interested in starting a Neighborhood Watch, please contact the Lemont Police Department at 630-257-2229.
