How Do I Start a Neighborhood Crime Watch Group?

You can easily start a Neighborhood Crime Watch by following the steps below:

Step 1: Call the Margate Police Department at (954) 972-7111 and ask to speak with Officer Tony Careccia or Sergeant Paul Frankenhauser and let them know you are interested in starting a neighborhood watch program. Discuss the types of crime or issues that are prevalent in your neighborhood, and what type of neighborhood you live in (apartment, subdivision, rural homes, etc.).

Step 2: Contact your neighbors to find out who is interested. Visit them door-to-door. Going door-to-door, text message or a closed Facebook Group is a great way to promote Neighborhood Crime Watch! Let’s get started today and keep our community safe!
