Block Watch
Block Watch is a community driven program which brings neighbors together through increased communication between themselves and the police. Block Watches have several significant commitments: report suspicious activity to the police, create a safe community, and build communication with your neighbors. Police alone cannot solve crime in the community. They need extra eyes and ears to report suspicious activity and crime. Port Alberni has a Block Watch program strongly supported by the RCMP. For more information, click on the links below to learn more about building a Block Watch in your area. If you wish to start up a Block Watch in your area, please e-mail Dave Cusson the Community Policing Manager at dave.cusson@rcmp-grc.gc.ca in order to register and gain training.
