Hello, Neighbors!
Your Neighborhood Watch is celebrating its birthday with over 60 Block Captains representing our 550+ homes here in The Woodlands! 

The Woodlands Neighborhood Watch started with a handful of neighbors concerned over an address that had become a regular stop for the Seminole County Sheriffs.  With the cooperation of the Civic Association, we were able to purchase signage to post throughout our community.  This small group banded together to organize a network of Block Captains and Coordinators.  Monthly updates are sent out to each Block Captain who, in turn, forward this information to their neighbors.  When aberrant activity occurs, telephones light up with “neighbors talking to neighbors” and soon an update is sent to Block Captains who spread this information to our neighbors.

Our Neighborhood Watch activity has gained the reputation with the Seminole County Sheriffs Office as being the Poster Child for neighborhood watch programs.  We are active.  We are visible.  We communicate.  We work.  The end result, according to the Sheriffs Office, crime statistics in The Woodlands are down.  Good work, neighbors!

Become part of the Woodlands Neighborhood Watch program. Talk to your neighbors. Become a Block Captain. How? Contact Bonni or Peter for information regarding our Neighborhood Watch.

*** IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ***
When your home is burglarized, you lose more than just your television set, computer, jewelry or money.  You also lose your peace of mind and, in some cases; you might jeopardize the safety and welfare of yourself and family.

Residential burglary is a chronic nationwide problem that is growing in leaps and bounds.  For its victims, it is a costly as well as potentially dangerous crime, which can lead to other crimes.

Seminole Sheriffs Office offers a FREE HOME SECURITY ASSESSMENT.  Call the Community Services Division at (407)665-6600 or (407) 665-6983, to request an assessment which will evaluate security strengths and weaknesses of your home as well as offer helpful suggestions in making your property more secure.
