Skokie Police Neighborhood Watch Program

The Skokie Police Department invites the community to participate in the local Neighborhood Watch Program. By participating, residents have the opportunity to feel a strong connection to the community and contribute to neighborhood safety.

The Neighborhood Watch program is one of the most effective crime prevention strategies a community can utilize. Currently in Skokie, over 176 blocks participate in the program.

By participating, residents are kept up to date on Village ordinances, state laws, tips to prevent crime and how to get to know your neighbors. Regular meetings are held at the Skokie Police headquarters for Neighborhood Watch block captains. Many neighborhoods also hold block captain meetings to exchange information about current happenings and events and often plan a block party or other social events.

The Skokie Police Department invites any person interested in the program to contact the Crime Prevention/Community Relations Unit at 847/982-5922.
