Let's make a difference

Citizens’ Crime Watch is a nonprofit county-wide crime prevention program funded by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners, grants, and donations. When neighborhood watch is fully operative, you and your neighbors become the “Eyes and Ears” of the local police department, telephoning the police at the first hint of suspicious activity.


 As a non-profit, we depend greatly on the support of the community. We ask you to support us by clicking the yellow DONATE button. We also invite you to connect with us.
