Partnerships

Neighborhood Watch

Organized neighborhood watch groups are a key component to alerting the Department to suspicious activities in your area.  Neighborhood Watch Groups are trained in home- and self-protection, suspect identification, and how to serve effectively as additional eyes and ears for law enforcement agencies in their communities.

To start a Neighborhood Watch group, simply talk to your neighbors.  Discuss the crime problems in your area and talk about the value of a watch group.  Then, contact the Department and request information about starting a Neighborhood Watch group in your neighborhood.

Neighbors by Ring

The Pittsburg Police Department has joined the Neighbors app by Ring to provide the Pittsburg community with real-time, local crime and safety information. The Neighbors network already has millions of users and has been instrumental in catching package thieves, stopping burglaries, and keeping neighborhoods safe.

Residents can download the free Neighbors app, join their neighborhood, and use the app to monitor neighborhood activity, share crime and safety-related videos, photos, and text-based posts, similar to a virtual neighborhood watch group.

How it works:

• Download the Neighbors mobile application for iOS and Android using this link download.ring.com/pittsburg or by texting pittsburgpd to 555888 from your smartphone.
• Opt-in to join your neighborhood.
• Customize the geographic area you want to receive alerts for (users must verify their location and cannot participate in other neighborhoods).
• Receive real time alerts from your neighbors, the Pittsburg Police Department, and the Ring team.
• View local crime and safety posts via a live feed or interactive map.

The Pittsburg Police Department’s goal is to foster mutual trust and encourage everyone to engage in the safety and security of our community. We hope that with this feature available, it will allow officers to work with the community to keep our neighborhoods safer and more aware.
