Neighborhood Watch is a partnership between police and residents to prevent crime and disorder in our communities. When a Neighborhood Watch Group is formed and maintained, we can protect our neighborhoods against criminal activity by sending a strong message that crime and disorder won’t be tolerated here. The Chula Vista Police Department welcomes residents who would like to form new groups or revitalize older groups, and join us in efforts to keep residents safe.

We invite you to visit the Chula Vista Neighborhood Watch Facebook page to keep updated on the latest crime prevention strategies, current trends, and great information to share with fellow group members and other neighborhood watch groups. Crime prevention is everyone's business. We’re building a community of safety and awareness so we can work together, learn from each other, and send a message to criminals that crime won’t be tolerated here.

Stop by the Otay Ranch Community Storefront, which is staffed by our Senior Volunteer Patrol members, who can assist you with "fix-it tickets;" and help you register for a phone-check program for seniors and persons with disabilities. The Storefront, located at 2015 Birch Road, Suite 221, is open to the public Monday through Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
