Neighborhood and Business Watch Programs

The City of Stanton announces the formation of the Neighborhood and Business Watch Programs. These programs are designed to provide a forum for the community and Stanton Police Services to interact and exchange information beneficial and crucial to combating crime and blight in the community.

The Neighborhood Watch program is a time proven program that is built on the principle of neighbors helping neighbors. The program works in sprawling neighborhoods to apartment complexes. It only requires one key ingredient, YOU.

The Business Watch Program is modeled on the Neighborhood Watch program. It involves business owners looking out for each other and it provides a forum for the business community to interact with the City, specifically Police Services.

For more information contact Stanton Police Services, Deputy John Harrington, at (714) 889-7866.
