I remember a few years back, they had these burglers in our neighborhoods, who had one person (lady) walking through neighborhood with cell phone in hand, and would call the driver when she noticed someone leaving their home, so they could pull up to home like they were workers, and break into home. (They were caught) So really good to have Village Watch
I agree with this post. They don't have any real power, but they can get some real power if they need it. I just like to know they are patrolling our streets day and night. When it gets warmer I will be out walking at 6am and I love to see one of their trucks pass me and wave, just knowing they know I am out there is important to me. We have actually called them several times in the past and their response time is excellent.
