Neighborhood Watch
For more than thirty years, the National Neighborhood Watch program has been one of the most effective ways for citizens to join in partnership with law enforcement in the protection of our neighborhoods.
The Board of Mayor and Alderman, city officials and associates will welcome an invitation to attend and/or participate in your neighborhood events or meetings.
Some of the benefits from Neighborhood Watch programs have been crime reduction and a better quality of life. Neighborhood Watch programs also offer many other community benefits such as providing community members with a greater sense of security, community pride and unity, and preparing us to help ourselves and others in our community. Neighborhood Watch groups provide law enforcement with volunteer support all year-round. The citizens become the extra eyes and ears of law enforcement personnel and help reduce law enforcement’s burden.

Neighborhood Covenants and Restrictions Restrictions are intended to maintain or enhance property values by limiting the use of the property and prohibiting certain uses or practices. They are placed on the property by the developer at the time the subdivision is developed. Restrictions are listed on the subdivision plat and recorded in the Shelby County Register’s Office. Enforcement of neighborhood covenants is a matter among property owners in the subdivision, typically through an association. The city does not enforce covenant violations unless a city code is also being violated.
