NEIGHBORHOOD E-WATCH MEETINGS


       

 
Police Chief Dennis Veach addressed residents from AORs 2 and 5 at the department's second Neighborhood  E-Watch meeting.  He introduced the Area of Responsibility program and the new Neighborhood E-Watch program and fielded questions from the audience.  The department will host meetings in all 12 areas of the city over the next several months.

WHAT IS SACHSE E-WATCH?

Sachse PD E-Watch group is a "cyber" neighborhood watch program.  E-Watch provides Sachse citizens with an easy way to obtain monthly neighborhood crime reports, crime alerts, resident surveys, crime prevention messages, and community service messages.  Many Sachse residents are busy professionals interested in participating in a neighborhood watch program but are too busy to attend meetings.  Sachse Neighborhood E-Watch is the answer.
