Call Non-Emergency
A neighborhood Watch member can not make a call to the police for you you must do it your self.
Only you can give the correct description of what you are calling about.
You do not need to give your Name but I would advise you to give them your cell phone or a number that they can reach you once they get here in the Oaks so you can help them with the correct directions if they need them. This will help a lot. They will not put your number in a bank or anything like that. you can be 100% anonymous.
What is a Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch "
it's one of the most effective and
least costly ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. Neighborhood Watch
fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges
bonds among area residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and
improves relation between police and the communities they serve.
The
Neighborhood Crime Watch program is designed to help protect your entire
neighborhood. This program enlists the cooperation of all your
surrounding neighbors to become educated about crime prevention and to
help you get to know each other.
If everyone works together to become aware of potential danger signs
and responds to them, your neighborhood can develop an advantageous
system for everyone.
This program is for watching, not for doing. We do not want you to take
risks or to take the law into your own hands.
If you see something suspicious - report that activity to the police.
Let the police handle it. Just knowing that people are watching can
reduce the risk of burglary and other crime activity in participating
neighbors.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH.....Dos and Don'ts
Watch members in many instances, debate as to whether an incident warrants reporting or not. The following is a reminder as to what Kissimmee Police and Osceola Sheriff's Department, have told the Oaks Watch.
When to call Police?
One of the hardest things for Watch members is to learn to trust their instincts.
If it looks suspicious ...it probably is, don't hesitate ... call the police.
Some people fear that raising a false alarm will reflect poorly on them. Not so. It's okay to inform the police about something that "looks a bit fishy," and let them take it from there.
Look at the other side of the coin ... how would you feel if you didn't call to report your suspicions, and, as a result, failed to prevent a criminal act in your part of the neighborhood? How would you feel if a neighbor failed to prevent a criminal act on your property?
Even if you're reluctant to report a crime whether it's in progress or already has been committed, at least inform your Block Captain or Coordinator.
How to Report a Crime or
Suspicious Activity
PLEASE DO Call the non emergency numbers
911 if it is life threatening
- Identify yourself as a Watch member;
- be prepared to describe the person(s), vehicle(s) or circumstances as fully as possible;
- ask for an "incident" number to facilitate a follow-up inquiry as a later date;
- record the date and time of your call;
- keep the suspect(s) and incident under surveillance from a safe distance until police arrive;
- make a second call if the activity gets worse; and
- inform your Block Captain or designate when time permits.
DON'T ATTEMPT APPREHENSION OR PURSUIT
DON'T ATTEMPT TO CONFIRM YOUR SUSPICIONS
by approaching a home or vehicle where a crime may have take place, or may still be in progress. Go immediately to a safe distance, call 9-1-1 and wait for police.
MAKE THE RIGHT CALL! Every call is important, but not all calls are life threatening, and not all calls are police emergencies.
