Berwyn Heights Emergency Preparedness and Neighborhood Watch
Neighborhood Watch Patrol
The Berwyn Heights Neighborhood Watch conducts regular patrols alongside the Berwyn Heights Police. Our marked and un-marked patrols regularly assit the police with patrols on our residential streets as well as in our commercial district. Equiped with radios, our patrols act as additional eyes and ears to report suspicious activities and possible problems directly to on-duty police officers. This added visability on our streets helps to establish a concerned and active populous that supports our police department and their responsibilities. Neighborhood Watch meets with the Emergency Preparedness Committee and the Response Team on the first Wednesday of each month at the town hall. Citizens are welcome to attend and join us in our patrols and other activities. Call the town office at 301-474-5000.
Our meetings are on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 7:30 in the town hall
call 301-474-5000 and ask for directions
