Neighbor Watch organizations have evolved over the years and are today primarily communication based entities. The purpose of the Neighborhood Watch is to observe activities in the community and report any activity or behavior that might be deemed suspicious, unlawful or in need of police or emergency assistance.

It is important to note that the Neighborhood Watch does not patrol the neighborhood. We are not the police. Watch members are urged to never directly engage with individuals that might be behaving in a suspicious manner. Your only duty is to call the police and provide whatever additional information you have to aid them in their investigation. Report suspicious activities using the telephone number: 727-582-6200, do not use 911, that is only to be used for emergencies that require an immediate police response.

We have had a rash of cars that were burglarized mostly due to cars being left unlocked. There was even a vehicle that left a hand gun that was stolen. One vehicle was stolen due to leaving the key fob in the car. It was also noted that cars with the garage door openers in them also leave your home open to anyone who gains control of them.

So please keep your vehicles locked, remove anything that will make you more vulnerable and if you see anyone suspicious please call the Sheriffs Office at 582-6200.
