The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is strengthening its crime fighting efforts by strengthening neighborhoods. 

Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program that enlists the active participation of citizens in cooperation with the sheriff’s office in an effort to reduce crime. It is an organized group of neighbors who observe more closely any unusual activity in their neighborhoods.

Citizen Patrol member Tom Martel is spearheading the program. Contact him at 775.413.0260 or neighborhoodwatch@douglasnv.us about hosting a neighborhood watch meeting.
