Neighborhood Watch "Tip Sheet"
THE ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS
• Build a sense of community:
-
Get neighbors talking with each other on a regular basis.
-
Make sure neighbors know how to communicate with each other. Each should have a list of names and numbers of other neighbors.
-
Work together to solve problems in the area.
• Involve as many neighbors as possible, including both landlords and tenants.
• Do it – stay involved:
-
Resist the urge to put it off till tomorrow, or the need to do it perfectly. Set a time line and stick to it!
-
Encourage other involvement, but do it yourself if necessary.
• Purchase and place Block Watch signs.
• Select at least one neighbor to attend neighborhood association meetings.
-
The association can be strengthened by your involvement.
-
The block can be strengthened by “networking” to the larger community.
AT EVERY MEETING
• Get a record of participants. Name, address, and phone number. .
• Use name tags. You will learn each other's names faster.
• Have everyone introduce himself or herself. It breaks the ice and encourages inclusion.
• Delegate responsibilities, as much as possible.
Never end without scheduling the next meeting – time and place.
Even if it’s 6 months away.
