Meeting Aug. 2 on Neighborhood Watch campaign | Crime

Press release

This year's annual "National Night Out" marks the introduction of Florence Police Department's new Neighborhood Watch campaign.

This is a new venture that will combine businesses, apartments, condos, and residential areas into a city wide program rather than the isolated "watch" programs.

The objective is to enable residents to have quarterly meetings, more resources and a better support structure for the local program.

On Tuesday, Aug. 2, at 6 p.m. at the Florence Events Center, a meeting will be held to introduce this new program.

Members of current Neighborhood Watch groups, those interested in forming a group, and those interested in learning about Neighborhood Watch are encouraged to attend.
