Dog Walker Watch Training
Dog Walker Watch is a crime prevention and awareness program, similar to Neighborhood Watch. The program encourages neighbors out walking their dogs to be extra ‘eyes and ears’ for law enforcement. The program enhances the partnership between police and the community while providing resources for neighbors to be more aware and how they can effectively observe and report suspicious activity.
