A neighborhood alert is an initiative that relies on local residents to help deter crime and improve community safety. It uses methods like social interaction, observation and reporting to make neighborhoods safer and less likely to attract criminal activity. A popular example of this is a neighborhood watch program that uses a dedicated tip line for citizens to report suspicious activity.
Neighborhood alerts can also work in tandem with home security systems. In fact, a home security system can provide an excellent deterrent for crime because criminals are less likely to target homes where they may be captured on video.
For example, if someone is out of town for a long period of time and would like neighbors to keep an eye on their house for them, they can simply call your community’s dedicated neighborhood tip line with a pre-set, easy to remember vanity number. Then, the rest of your community can easily recall that number and leave a message to let everyone know they are going to be out of town, how long they will be away, who (if anyone) will be watching their home and where they are staying.
