Hello,
Welcome to the home page of the Nappanee Neighborhood Watch. This community oriented policing program has been running successful for several years. The local crime statistics prove that getting the community involved with their surroundings is a giant step towards a positive beginning.
Once a year the Neighborhood Watch group gets together and has an open block party. Area businesses donate food and prizes to be given away during drawings. Entertainment from local talents entertains during the picnic. This allows all the surrounding neighbors that may not be involved, a chance to get to know one another. Public officials and other emergency services are present to show how they can also help your neighborhood.
Everyone knows once you get to know someone, you don’t treat him or her as a stranger. You say “HI” to each other while walking down the street. You tend to look around more and observe what your neighbors are doing when walking to your car. You even tend to help more when one of them are in trouble.
Over a couple months or years you get to know each other’s habits and routines. All of a sudden you will find a window may be broken out, or that “they never go away and leave the garage door open”. This could be a sign that someone is stealing your friends / neighbors property. IT’S NOW TIME TO CALL THE POLICE !!
Burglars, Thieves, and Vandals do not like neighborhoods where they know people are watching them. There is nothing more freighting to a bad guy than to have the feeling they are being watched.
On the following pages, we have photos of the kids and adults that attend the neighborhood block party that was held in the south-east side of town on Monday August 1, 2000
