Twin Peaks, CA – Neighborhood Watch (NHW) programs in the mountain communities are one of the most effective and least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear in local neighborhoods. Neighborhood Watch programs fight the isolation and separation that crime creates and feeds upon.
Neighborhood Watch forges bonds among area residents and businesses, helps reduce burglaries and robberies and improves relations between San Bernardino County Sheriff’s deputies and the mountain communities they serve.
NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH MEETING
The Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station will be hosting a Neighborhood Watch information sharing event at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, August 27, at the old Twin Peaks Court Room at 26010 Highway 189 (at Grandview Drive).
The free event is open to the public and is geared at providing information to residents that are interested in becoming a Community Watch Member or starting a Neighborhood Watch program in their area.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
“The Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station has been vigilant in its efforts to keep burglaries in the mountain communities to a minimum,” according to a media release issued by Crime Prevention Officer Karen Hunt.
Hunt urges residents to attend the meeting on August 27 and learn how they can help the Sheriff’s Department in its crime prevention efforts.
