-
Neighbourhood occupants: participation within a Watch usually consists of
60-100 homes, some Watches may be bigger or smaller, depending on the neighbourhood.

Zone Contact will oversee approximately 7-10 homes.
Roles and responsibilities Outlined below are the specific duties of the
Area Coordinator,

It is always important to remind residents to
call the police if there is any evidence of theft or vandalism on their property no matter how minor.
