Neighborhood Watch
 Throughout
the years, Neighborhood Watch has grown from an "extra
eyes and ears" approach to crime prevention to a much more
proactive, community-oriented endeavor. Neighborhood Watch groups
are now incorporating activities that not only address crime
prevention issues, but which also restore pride and unity to
a neighborhood. It is not uncommon to see Neighborhood Watch
groups participating in neighborhood cleanups and other activities
which impact the quality of life for community residents.
The
adoption of community policing by local law enforcement agencies
has also contributed to the resurgence in Watch groups over
the years. Neighborhood Watch fits nicely within the framework
of law enforcement/community partnerships, and Neighborhood
Watch meetings can be a useful forum to discuss neighborhood
problems and practice problem-solving techniques.
To join the San Dimas Neighborhood Watch Program, contact:
Chris MacKenzie at the San Dimas Sheriff Station (909) 450-2763 .

Explorers:
Since its
inception in 1969, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's
Law Enforcement Explorer Program has created new inroads of
understanding between youth, law enforcement, and the community.
Deputy
Explorers are not just "talkers." They receive extensive
training and then actively participate in community affairs
and non-hazardous law enforcement activities.
Explorer Program: contact phone #: 909 450-2806
What
is Law Enforcement Exploring? The Law Enforcement Explorer
Program is a Sheriff's Department youth oriented program.
It is affiliated with the special interest phase of the Boy
Scouts of America. It's primary purpose is to provide, through
actual experience, a means by which young men and women may
determine if they would like to pursue a career in law enforcement.
The program also provides the Sheriff's Department with additional
human resources and it opens an important avenue of understanding
with an energetic, concerned society of young people.
Training: After acceptance into the Program, initial training for new
Deputy Exlorers takes place at one of the Sheriff's Explorer
Academies. They are located at 11515 South Colima Road, Whittier,
and at The College of the Canyons, 26455 N. Rockwell Canyon
Road, Valencia. The Explorer Academy consists of approximately
184 hours of instruction during 18 weeks of training on Saturdays.
Subjects
such as community relations, criminal law, demeanor, firearms
safety, narcotics control, police procedures and weaponless
defense must be mastered. The trainees are required to undergo
drill and physical training as well as their classroom work.
Satisfactory
completion of the Academy earns the Deputy Explorer ten high
school unit credits. In some cases, college credit can also
be earned by post-graduation Academy involvement.
