Crime Watch Procedure

NOTE:  See ‘Crime Watch In Action’ below for latest neighborhood incidents reported

First Call:

911 (emergency) or 327-3811 (non-emergency) for any suspicious activities.  Be calm, accurate and descriptive. Note from Diana Vanarsdall, Marion County Sheriff’s Department, 911 Communications Liaison: “You can remain anonymous when you call 911.  Just tell the dispatcher at the beginning of the call that you wish to remain anonymous and no information will be broadcast.  You will not get an officer at your door.” 

Second Call:

Crime Watch Coordinators: Mike and Ali Maxwell, 750-0401.
