The Crime Watch Program

Copperfield is a Crime Watch community. The purpose of Crime Watch is to raise the level of concern and awareness toward crime prevention and to create active participation between residents and law enforcement officers in the fight against crime. The Crime Watch program encourages neighbors to protect each others lives and property by watching for and reporting suspicious activities...the residents become the "eyes" of the patrolling deputies. The object is to prevent a crime from happening by having a deputy check out even the slightest irregularity in your street's normal routine. Our deputies would prefer to spend 10 minutes checking out a call rather than follow up on a crime that has already been committed.

For more information about the Crime Watch Program call the Copperfield Community Center at (281) 856-9060.
