The Independence Police Department recognizes that community participation in crime
prevention programs is essential to improving the quality of life in the City of
Independence. One of the most effective ways to promote citizen interaction with
police is the sharing of information. At its heart, The Neighborhood Watch Program
encourages this partnership between the police and community. It is a program of
neighbors watching out for other neighbors, particularly during times when criminal
activity would likely occur. Also, as a part of Neighborhood Watch, citizen groups
determine specific needs or problems and then share this information with local
police. The police then act on this information and report back to the group on
their progress.
