The relative safety for residents of the community are crucial to maintaining a higher quality of life. The neighborhood watch members strive to work with all stakeholders including law enforcement, community organizers and residents to facilitate needed processes and data collection to ensure the safety of all those in our community.
A neighborhood watch program is currently under development and it is hoped that as a Mordecai resident you are reading this to help keep our community safe. The items highlighted below are simply guidelines and suggestions on getting our community watch program off the ground. The intention of these items is not to force anyone to do anything but to help aid discussions and develop a frame work to work from. All comments and suggestions are welcome and together we can all make a difference.
Vision
Improving our quality of like through protection of community and individual property.
