"The Neighborhood Watch concept is easy to understand... you caringly watch over your neighbors, and they
do the same for you."

 

BEGINNING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
WATCH PROGRAM

The primary purpose of this Website is to encourage individuals & neighborhoods throughout Fairview to begin the formation of their very own Neighborhood Watch Program.  Sanctioned by the Fairview Police Department, this site can provide everyone with a central base for information and resources in helping them get started and also provide new information and "Safety Alerts" as involvement grows.

Therefore, the first step for your neighborhood should be a simple one.  That's why we've created an easy-to-use downloadable "Flyer" which can be quickly customized to distribute throughout your neighborhood as well as a few simple instructions for getting started.

EASY START INSTRUCTIONS:

FIRST:
As an organizer, contact Chief Terry Harris of the Fairview Police Department at 799-2431 to inform him of your interest in organizing a Watch Program in your Neighborhood.  Provide the Chief with your Name, Address, Phone Number and Neighborhood's Name.  Also let him know you are using the resources you need from this Website [FairviewNeighbors.com].  Chief Harris will offer you his time to schedule with organizers or speak with everyone at a public neighborhood meeting to explain the importance of such a program.

SECOND:
Download & Customize our "Easy To Use Flyer" to inform your neighbors of your new Neighborhood Watch Program.  This Downloadable Flyer is quickly customized by simply [Clicking] in the appropriate areas and typing in your information.
Please Note: Downloading this item requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.  Don't have it?  Click Here and get it for Free!
Distributing Your Completed Flyer:  Simply Print all the copies you'll need of your completed Flyer, fold each one & place it on your neighbors mailbox.  Please do not put it inside the mailbox as this is not a lawful way of doing it.

FINAL POINT:
At your "Kick-Off Meeting", if your neighborhood wishes to purchase Official Neighborhood Watch Street Signs, simply raise, donate or provide Chief Harris with the cost of the signs ($25.00 each) and the city will place and install them free of charge.  From that point forward your Program belongs to your neighborhood to do what best suits the needs of your neighborhood, and no one knows what those needs are better than you.  The Police Department will always be there to support your needs & work with you every step of the way!
