How Does Block Watch Work?

Block Watch is a program of a neighbour helping neighbours. The Block Watch Program is a free community-based crime prevention program administered by Central Saanich Police Service.. Residents on a street or in a Complex form a communication chain, aided by a block map of names, telephone numbers, and addresses. They make a commitment to watch out for each other's homes, and report suspicious activities to the police and to each other. They also keep each other informed about neighbourhood occurrences, burglary, thefts, and other crimes or problems occurring on their street through immediate Blockwatch Fanouts.
