There are multiple Neighborhood Watch groups in effect across the City of North Las Vegas, helping to keep our community safe. These groups of neighbors work together with each other and with the North Las Vegas Police Department to increase collaboration within the community and empower citizens to play a proactive role in combating crime. 

The Neighborhood Watch programs are run by citizens with assistance from NLVPD. Any resident or community can join - it’s as simple as starting a conversation with your neighbors!

How Do I Start a Neighborhood Watch Program?

• Talk with your neighbors and discuss their needs and concerns. Find out which days or hours work best for an initial meeting.                

• Establish a list of volunteers and interested participants. Solicit for a Coordinator and Block Captain. The coordinator is the direct liaison to NLVPD. Block Captains are the liaisons between the participants and the coordinator. All interested volunteers must complete an application through the Police Department.

• Four weeks prior to your desired meeting date, contact NLVPD’s Community Services Division at (702) 633-1808 to schedule a Crime Prevention Specialist to attend and give a presentation on the program, home security and other crime prevention practices.

• Your group is official! After the initial meeting, work with NLVPD to order and put up Neighborhood Watch signs.

Apartment Watch  

Apartment Watch programs bring together residents, managers and owners of apartment and multi-family housing communities with police to work together with to curb criminal activity.

Apartment managers administer the program for their assigned property. Any resident may be involved, and residents work together with the manager to ensure the program is successful.

To start an Apartment Watch program, talk with your community manager, then contact the North Las Vegas Police Department Community Services Division at (702) 633-1808 to schedule a Crime Prevention Specialist visit.
