The Miracle Mile Neighborhood Watch program supports strengthening our neighborhood to reduce crime. Our motto is “Changing How We Neighbor to Deter Crime & Build Community”.
We are a cooperative program between our Miracle Mile residents, private patrol, and the Los Angeles Police Department. Our LAPD Senior Lead Officer works closely with our Neighborhood Watch coordinator who is in contact with all block captains. Each block has a Block Captain to connect the neighbors on that block who are trained on the 3-Step Neighborhood Watch plan. We have seen significant success in the blocks that are organized and trained in Neighborhood Watch. More eyes on the street, awareness of activity on the block, and immediate communication via group texting to share urgent messages. Blocks notice a decrease in crime and faster response times when they work together.
