c.o.p.s Neighborhood watch program

 A few neighbors have raised concerns about neighborhood safety.  We researched what it would take to establish a neighborhood watch program through Gwinnett County.  Gwinnett County's Neighborhood Watch program is called C.O.P.S. (Community Oriented Police Service).  The C.O.P.S. program requires four (4) meetings over approximately one year's time.  The meetings are as follows:

1. ​Introduction: 50 percent of all homes in the neighborhood must participate in this initial meeting. The introduction explains the cops program and the benefits 
2. Liaison/Block captain orientation and Lock and Alarm: All leaders learn their roles in the cops program as well as a thorough review of home safety tips to better secure your home 
3. Program of your choice: See below 
4. Annual C.O.P.S. Festival

The programs offered are as follows:

• Personal Safety
• Home Safety (Locks, Alarms, Etc.)
• Child Safety (30 minutes)
• Senior Citizen Safety
• Child Safety for Parents
• Gang Awareness for Teens and Parents
• Drug Awareness for Teens and Parents
• Sexual Assault Prevention
• Domestic Abuse/Family Violence
• Consumer Fraud and Scams
• Safe Driving in Gwinnett
• Firearm Safety for Adults
• Robbery/Shoplifting Prevention
• Teen Safe Driving

If we have enough interest, we will contact the program coordinator for further information.  If you would be interested in helping to coordinate the program or serving as a Liaison and/or Block Captain, please click the button below to email the Board of Directors to express your interest.
