The Lake Havasu City Police Department would like to remind residents about our Neighborhood Watch Program. The program encourages citizens to be part of the solution and be that extra set of eyes and ears to help reduce crime in their neighborhood and report suspicious activity. A Neighborhood Watch group can be formed around any geographical unit; a block, a cul-de-sac, an apartment, a street or a business complex. Any community resident can join. The program encourages neighbors to get to know each other as well as get to know routines so that any out of place activity can be reported and investigated.
