What Can YOU Do??? How about starting a Neighborhood Watch on YOUR STREET!
Thank you for considering starting a Neighborhood Watch on your street. Here's how it works:
You let us know several possible dates when you can host a meeting and we will contact the police department to coordinate a meeting. We will then provide you with fliers to invite your neighbors to the street meeting. (Join up forms are printed on the back of the flier so people can fill out their information prior to the meeting.)
On the morning of the meeting, a volunteer will place a reminder sign at the entrance to your street to remind residents of the meeting as they come home.
What happens at the meeting?
An officer from HPD will be at that meeting to introduce the program and to give your neighbors ideas for increasing security on your street. A volunteer from the Neighborhood Watch team will give you a script (which you may choose to read at your meeting) that will help you understand what having a NW means for your street.
What happens after the meeting?
Whoever volunteers to be a coordinator or street captain will collect the “join up” forms that your neighbors bring to the meeting. Depending on the numbers of people who decide to join up, the coordinator/street captain may divide the large group in to smaller groups to make it easier for neighbors to watch over their own smaller, more manageable areas. We can also help generate a phone tree and when this is completed, the police department will supply participant information packets to distribute to all participants.
If your street program has 60% participation, you may put in a request to the HPD’s Crime Prevention Office for a permanent Neighborhood Watch street sign. The sign is an effective warning to everyone who enters your neighborhood that you and your neighbors will report any suspicious activity. As new neighbors move onto your street, you might want to invite them to join your watch. Or they can contact the NW Team (through this website)and we will forward their information to your street captain.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Jack Kampfer at: 621-0852.
Mahalo!

ESPECIALLY FOR EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH LEADERS....
Dear Neighborhood Watch Coordinator or Street Captain,
On behalf of Malama O Wahiawa, I would like to thank you for your efforts in helping to make Wahiawa a safer place to live.
At the suggestion of several current Neighborhood Watch Street Captains, we will be starting a communication network to connect all the Neighborhood Watches in Wahiawa. This program is voluntary and will be designed to enable all Neighborhood Watch Leaders to share information with each other about crime incidents throughout Wahiawa. By staying informed, you can “arm” your neighborhood with information that may help prevent similar crimes on your street.
You can sign up to be a part of this NW Leaders network by e-mail, phone or letter. Click on "Write Us" at the bottom of this page to let us know you will join us.
As you know, participation and communication is a key factor in the success of a Neighborhood Security Watch. We encourage you to share the above information with other block captains you may know, so that we can work together to keep our citizens informed and prepared to fight crime in Wahiawa.
Thank you again for your efforts! We look forward to working with you toward a safer Wahiawa.
Sincerely,
Elisa Nakamura,
Volunteer
