Neighborhood Watch is a community-based crime prevention program that brings residents and police together to reduce crime and strengthen neighborhoods. Through active participation and shared responsibility, neighbors learn how to identify and report suspicious activity, improve communication, and enhance safety on their blocks.
Each group is organized by block, with a designated Block Captain serving as the point of contact. An initial meeting is coordinated with a representative from the Torrance Police Department, where participants are introduced to crime prevention techniques and local safety trends. Follow-up meetings and materials support ongoing engagement and collaboration.
The most effective crime prevention strategy starts with neighbors looking out for one another.
Business Watch is a free crime prevention program designed to help business owners and commercial property managers partner with the Torrance Police Department to protect their employees, customers, and property.
Registration is free and easy. Your registration helps ensure quick response in emergencies and improves communication between your business and the department.
