Neighborhood Watch is 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 relations between the Public Safety Business Department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the community we serve.
The City of Rosemead is asking residents to get involved and participate in Neighborhood Watch to make our community safer. We recognize that we cannot be successful without the partnership between our department and the Rosemead residents.
