Message/Introduction

Dear Friends,

With a profound sense of enthusiasm, the Neighborhood Watch (NW) welcomes you to our blog page. NW is built on a philosophy that the residents of this wonderful city have the power to change neighborhoods block by block and street by street. Working together, neighbors can create a safer place to live by getting to know each other and getting involved. NW works closely with neighbors on issues related to crime and safety, but also takes a more broad approach focused on what it means to be a good neighbor, what makes for a more habitable neighborhood and what the power of people coming together can mean to the city.

Launched in 1985, NW has helped hundreds of watch groups get started and we remain an important source of ongoing support. We are committed to continuing our mission to develop and maintain crime watch groups in every neighborhood in Boston. We strive to provide these groups with the necessary skills and tools to create and maintain an organized and empowered team that work with the police to deter crime and reduce fear. The unit also increases coordination and collaboration by assisting groups to network with nearby or affiliated groups and city departments.




Thank you,

Carolyn MacNeil, Director
