What is SCLH Neighborhood Watch?
In May 2000, a small group of residents met to establish a Lincoln Hills Neighborhood Watch Program. This highly effective program, in cooperation with local law enforcement, effectively reduced crime and increase security of residents. During the summer of 2000, a committee of nine residents began to organize watch-teams based on mailbox locations. By the end of July 2000, 123 teams had been formed. Neighborhood Watch continues to operate today, covering 6783 homes.
The original committee of nine has grown to over 650 volunteers who continue to work on behalf of our community as Mailbox Captains, Village Coordinators, Directors, and Support Groups. Due to improvements in technology, Neighborhood Watch is now on a path of advancement and looks forward to implementing new training strategies and strengthening neighborhood ties by utilizing web-based communications.
