National Night Out – Community Picnic – Nextdoor – Neighborhood Watch
National Night Out is a campaign involving citizens, law enforcement agencies, fire departments, businesses, neighborhood organizations and local officials. The campaign strives to strengthen neighborhood spirit and law enforcement/community partnerships.
Started in 1984, National Night Out sends a message to criminals letting them know that neighborhoods are organized and fighting crime together with law enforcement. In addition, it helps neighbors get to know each other and have fun doing so.
The Edgewater Police Department and community will be celebrating National Night Out in Edgewater at our Community Picnic on Saturday, August 26th.
We will be displaying our National Award Winning Nextdoor Police Officer Beat program and how we are integrating that with Neighborhood Watch and National Night Out. The Edgewater Police Department’s Nextdoor Beat System was selected as one of the TOP SEVEN NEW PROGRAMS in the United States for 2017 and with your help we hope to receive recognition as one of the top Neighborhood Watch programs in the United States in the near future!
We will have our speed radar trailer out again testing your speeds for both baseball throws and soccer kicks – stop on by and see how fast you can throw or kick! Additionally, we have invited Jefferson County Sheriff Office’s Mounted Patrol Unit, and their Child Abuse Prevention Unit as well as West Metro Fire.

Want to make your neighborhood safer?
The Edgewater Police Department’s Nextdoor Beat Cop Program was selected as one of the top 7 programs in the United States by the Nextdoor selection team for 2017. If you’re concerned about crime in your neighborhood there is no better free program available to us than Neighborhood Watch. Neighborhood Watch coordination is nothing more than getting to know your neighbors and passing along information that the police department provides to you about the calls for service in your specific neighborhood.
Please consider inviting your neighbors to participate in Nextdoor Edgewater and contacting our Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Lorenzo – volunteers@edgewaterpd.com to get more information on Neighborhood Watch and making your neighborhood safer. Working together we can make a difference in deterring crime – thank you!

Nextdoor and Neighborhood Watch are Growing!
Our tremendous volunteer, Lorenzo Rendon has done an exceptional job in his first year as Neighborhood Watch Coordinator. Lorenzo has spoken to many of you and is arranging block meetings for the summer. As we begin to identify and sign our Neighborhood Watch Blocks, we will also begin the process of comparing crime statistics in Watch Blocks compared to all other blocks. The NW program has historically been extremely successful in deterring crime, and I’m certain it will do the same for Edgewater. Our Edgewater Police Department Volunteers are researching methods to increase our Neighborhood Watch participation and participation in Nextdoor Edgewater. Both of these programs allow us to communicate more efficiently with residents for civic events and crime prevention purposes. Please consider inviting your neighbors to participate in Nextdoor Edgewater and contacting our Neighborhood Watch Coordinator Lorenzo – volunteers@edgewaterpd.com to get more information on making your neighborhood safer.
