Now that ‘spooky season’ is upon us, Coeur d’Alene Police Department says it’s a good time to make sure you and your neighbors are watching out for each other.
October is Crime Prevention Month and a great time to start a Neighborhood Watch Group.
According to CDAPD, a Neighborhood Watch Group is a group of residents who work together and partner with local police to look out for one another, share safety information, report suspicious activity and build stronger and safer communities.
To create your own Neighborhood Watch Group, CDAPD says you should connect with your neighbors, reach out to your local law enforcement and choose a ‘watch coordinator’ to facilitate important communication.
If you live in Coeur d’Alene, you can reach out to CDAPD’s Crime Prevention Officer at 208-769-2339.
“This October, let’s work together to launch a program that strengthens our community and helps prevent crime before it happens,” said CDAPD.
