After our successful final Neighborhood Watch training meeting, Officer Mike Dunn passed along the information to order Neighborhood Watch signs for individual streets.
The signs themselves cost approximately $35 each and installation costs are $50. Generally, neighbors take up a collection to purchase the signs and pay for installation.
For more information about purchasing a sign(s) for your street, please contact us.
