Block Watch

Block Watch is a free, community-based, crime prevention program aimed at helping residents organize their neighbourhoods to help prevent crime in the community. Block Watch works if you and your neighbours get to know one another. They may be the first to notice a suspicious person at your door or window. By simply getting to know your neighbours, you may notice someone or something that is suspicious. When neighbours work together, they can combat crime in their neighbourhood the most effective way - before it happens.
For more information, please call 604-207-4829 or email blockwatch@richmond.ca
To start a Block Watch group, someone must volunteer to become the Block Captain. All Captains and Co-Captains must submit a 
Block Watch Application form and undergo a Free Police Information Check.
