Virtual Neighborhood Watch Action and Awareness Training, Wednesday, March 17th, 2021 at 6 pm. DPD District 3’s Neighborhood Watch program offers a partnership between Officers and the Residents they serve. Officers promote Neighborhood Connectivity by encouraging Neighbors to get to know one another and by creating awareness through Implicit Bias education – reminding neighbors – it’s the person’s behavior, not the person to be mindful of when observing and reporting suspicious behavior to the Police.
