What is USAonwatch (UOW) / Neighborhood Watch(NW)?
USAonwatch (UOW) was created by the National Sheriffs' Association,
in conjunction with several well-known federal agencies, to advance
this cause by encouraging the initiation and/or revitalization
of Neighborhood Watch programs throughout the country. One of
the oldest and best known crime prevention concepts in history,
Neighborhood Watch was created to unite law enforcement agencies,
private organizations, and individual citizens in a massive effort
to reduce residential crime. USAonwatch is used not only to promote
NWs, but also record the number of NWs started. The President
asked the National Sheriffs' Association to double the number
of Neighborhood Watchgroups by January 2004. We encourage you
to learn more about these programs and their history
Who can participate in a Neighborhood Watch?
Members of local communities and representatives from businesses,
government agencies, and a variety of organizations can participate
in a Neighborhood Watch once they have established a partnership
with their local law enforcement agency.
