Neighborhood Watch Block Captains

updated: Wednesday, May 16, 2012

In partnership with the St. Louis Park Police Department, block captains help maintain the safety and well being of their neighborhood by coordinating Neighborhood Watch activities for their block. Each block captain helps develop and maintain ongoing communication between the block's residents and the Police Department. Block captains organize their block's annual National Night Out block party, host crime prevention meetings, distribute newsletters and crime alerts, and attend the annual block captains' meeting. Block captains may also be asked to help out at other city events.

If you would like to volunteer to be a block captain, call the Community Outreach Officer at (952) 924-2661. Duties are not time-consuming, and block captains report an increased sense of neighborhood pride and improved relationships in exchange for their service.
