Block Captain's Needed

The Block Captain should be the primary link in the WNW chain of command. There should be no more that 10 homes per Block Captain. The duties include a wide range of simple tasks:

1. Meet each resident in your assigned area and offer to register them in the WNW if they aren't already.
2. Maintain an emergency phone list of all your assigned residents.
3. Be available to pass on information about criminal activities in your area. (Notice: You may be called late at night if one of your residents spot suspicious activities.)
4. Forward information to the WNW President or Vice-President and activate the phone tree if you receive information on a suspect in your area. (The "phone tree" involves calling WNW members and informing them if there is an active incident going on in the area.)
5. The Block Captain also coordinates assistance programs if there are any special needs in their area and may set up social events for their members to become involved in.

Block Captain

Something that the neighborhood watch needs is Block Captains.
A block captain should be designated for ever 10-15 homes, and they should be directly involved with their immediate neighbors. The block captains responsibilities may include:

• Visiting and inviting new residents to join, as well as notifying them of meetings and training sessions.
• Acting as 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 residents.
• Establishing the "Operation Identification" program.
• Contacting each neighbor to discuss possible crime problems, requirements for assistance, and suggestions for program improvement.
