Neighborhood
Watch
The crime problem in our nation is both costly and demoralizing. Directly or indirectly, we are all affected by crime that has caused injury, financial loss, and intimidation. These situations demonstrate vividly the need for community involvement and assistance in crime prevention, reporting, and efforts in the NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH Program.
This community-based crime prevention program is a simple and direct approach toward protecting our community from criminal attacks. The program involves the reduction of criminal opportunity through citizen participation in crime prevention measures, such as being alert and aware, reporting suspicious and criminal activity to the police, and initiating actions that reduce criminal opportunity.
In these times of reported apathy within our communities, it is encouraging to witness the concern and involvement that exist through NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH efforts. The Police Department stands ready to assist and support you with this program. For information on a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH group in your area, please contact Officer Dan Puskaric at (630) 897-8707 ext. 3250. He can also be reached at puskaric@ci.montgomery.il.us.

Gratefully,
Dan Meyers
