Block Watch is a free community program operated by the VPD Block Watch office. Citizens in the community, with the help of the Block Watch coordinator and constable, are responsible for organizing, operating, and maintaining the Block Watch program in their neighbourhoods. The goals of the program are:

  • for residents to become actively involved in crime prevention in their community
  • to reduce crime in the community
  • to increase people reporting suspicious activities to police
  • to promote pride and awareness in the community
