Duties of a block captain

Block Captains should be designated for every 10-15 homes, and they should be directly involved with their immediate neighbors. The block captain’s responsibilities may include:

• Acting as a liaison between block residents and the Coordinator.

• Establishing a “telephone chain” by compiling and distributing a current list of names, addresses and telephone numbers of block participants.

• Visiting and inviting new residents to join Neighborhood Watch; notifying them of meetings and training sessions.

• Establishing the “Operation Identification” program.

• Contacting each neighbor as often as possible to discuss possible crime problems, needs for assistance, and suggestions for program improvement.
