Mission
- The Eldorado Neighborhood Watch is a voluntary program, organized and run by the residents of our community, which works with the concept of "neighbor to neighbor" communication.
It is also a committee of and is supported by the Eldorado Community Improvement Association. Neighborhood Watch aids in building a secure, informed neighborhood where residents get acquainted with one another, watch out for and assist each other. Neighborhood Watch works toward community improvement by addressing issues related to home security, animal control, traffic safety and other illegal activities. Neighbors are invited to implement crime prevention measures and report suspicious activity to the Sheriff's office, Eldorado Security Patrol or State Police (anonymously, if preferred). Neighborhood Watch members are not expected to directly intervene in possible criminal activity.
Next Meeting is Monday, February 2, 2009
at Eldorado Community Center
7:00 PM in the Living Room
