ECSO Neighborhood Watch Academy Accepting Applications

September 4, 2013

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is training a new generation of Neighborhood Watch leadership as part of their comprehensive approach to preventing crime.

Applications are now being accepted for the 16thNeighborhood Watch Academy to be held Tuesday, September 17  in the ECSO Administration Building at 1700 West Leonard Street in Pensacola.

The free training is being provided to neighborhood volunteers for new and existing Neighborhood Watch programs, or anyone interested in preventing crime.

The one evening seminar begins with a complementary meal at 5:00 pm and ends at 9:00 pm.

Should you wish to start a Neighborhood Watch group or simply make yourself less likely to be a victim of crime, organizers say this class is for you. Much of the curriculum covers basic safety and security tips for the home, anonymous reporting and crime prevention through environmental design.

To register or for more information, contact David Craig in the Community Services Unit at (850) 436-9281 or email gcraig@escambiaso.com.

    This is a REALLY GOOD training session! I have attended it and so have many others in the neighborhood watches. Everyone can learn a whole lot about our law enforcement and how it works and how to help! Maybe if Zimmerman had attended one of these the whole Travon Martin thing would not have happened!
