The Carmel Police Department in partnership with many neighborhood associations, has developed a Neighborhood Crime Watch Program. Any organized group of citizens can form a Watch for their community. Neighborhood organizations and the Police Department work together to report and inform each other of criminal activity in the area.
There are currently over 140 neighborhoods and over 15,000 residences involved in the Crime Watch program. The Carmel Police Department will assist in the formation of the Watch group and provide ongoing support.
Is your neighborhood participating in our Crime Watch Programs?
Contact Dawn Fisher, 317-571-2500, to find out.
