Meadowlark
Park participates in the Calgary Block Watch program
Block Watch operates on the premise that the police cannot be everywhere
all the time, as a result they are unable to effectively investigate,
reduce, and prevent crime by themselves.
Therefore, in order to keep the community safe, the police require the
assistance of all citizens in identifying and reporting suspicious or
criminal activities.
Block Watch is successful in preventing and reducing crime when people
get involved and stay involved. Each community is responsible for
establishing a Block Watch Association that is responsible for
implementing, coordinating, and managing the effectiveness of the Block
Watch Program.
Block Watch can succeed only if it is well organized and supported by a
majority of community members. The more people involved the more
effective the Program will be.
Education, information, increased awareness, citizen involvement and
action are the key components for ensuring a safe, crime-free community.
