Neighborhood Watch

Welcome to your friendly neighborhood blog! This is your Neighborhood Watch Coordinator speaking, and I'll be taking you on a tour of what we've got to offer as part of our community initiative. To date, we have dozens of residents participating in the NW effort, if nothing more than just taking part in a community email loop to keep updated on news and happenings. Let us know if you you are a Homecoming resident, aren't on that email list, and want to be!

Participation varies, from those who serve as Block Captains and act as the point-person for their respective area/street in the community, to those who simply keep an eye on the neighborhood and stay atuned of what's happening here. Everyone plays an important and and needed part.

We work closely with the Greenwood Police Department in keeping our community safe, getting such things such as regular patrols and most recently an electronic speed-monitor trailer that helped slow some drivers down. We are trying to get the message out to potential criminals that this isn't a neighborhood to come to - we're constantly watching and will report anything suspicious to the police. Currently, we are in the process of getting NW street signs for our community, more speed limit signs on various streets, and are in the throws of getting NW decals out to residents to post on their windows.

We also have a Pet Awareness Program to keep track of neighborhood pets and, in the event one escapes and is seen in the community, we can try to track down that owner and reunite the owner and pet. We have a few success stories to share on that front in the past year!

Lastly, we need your help! A Neighborhood Watch is only as effective as the people who participate make it. We have many watchful neighbors, but need to make sure everyone who wants to be involved has that opportunity. Get us your contact information, if nothing more than just an email address so that we can make sure you stay updated on community news, crime alerts, upcoming events, and pertinent issues that affect you as a property owner.

Best,
Michael Hoskins, Neighborhood Watch Coordinator
