LVMPD - Area Commands -Enterprise

Neighborhood Watch is a group of neighbors looking out for neighbors. It is getting to know each other and becoming familiar with your neighbor's habits and vehicles so that you will know when something is suspicious or out of the ordinary.

In addition to recognizing potential suspicious activities, Neighborhood Watch participants learn how to report such activity by calling 311 for Non-Emergency situations and suspicious activity or 911 if there is a Life Threatening Emergency or a crime occurring. After calling 311 or 911, you will learn to also notify your Neighborhood Watch Coordinator who will then notify your area Block Captains of the incident. All of this doesn't make you a nosy neighbor; it makes you a caring neighbor.

Many people don't want to bother the police because they are afraid that it may not be a real emergency or that they may be embarrassed if their suspicions turn out to be unfounded. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department would much rather be called out to investigate than to be called after a serious crime has been committed.

When in doubt, always call 311 for Non-Emergencies and 911 for Life Threatening Emergencies. The 311and 911 dispatchers are all seated in the same room in the Communications Call Center at Metro. This Call Center is staffed with professionally trained and helpful operators who will evaluate your call, rank its priority, and dispatch it to the appropriate officer. Neighborhood Watch does NOT mean being a vigilante. Participants do not confront suspects or take any personal risks at all. BE A GOOD AND SAFE WINTENESS!!!
