Block Watch

Block Watch is one of the most effective methods to stop crime in neighborhoods because small groups are the foundation of crime prevention and the stepping stones to community revitalization.

Everett Police believes in "Neighbors Helping Neighbors" and facilitates Block Watch groups so law enforcement and residents can work together to improve safety and prevent crime. Safety improves when people look out for each other and report suspicious activity or crimes as they occur.
