The Colville Police Services offer several crime prevention programs that are
an invaluable resource to local citizens, and provide a broad range of
programs to the community.
Block Watch
We endorse the Block Watch Program. This program is designed to help citizens become more
aware of crime and suspicious activities which may be occurring in their neighborhoods. The
Block Watch Program has been proven effective in reducing crime and improving the overall
quality of life in the community. Meeting in small groups, citizens learn crime prevention
techniques, residential security tips, environmental design strategies, and how to recognize and
report crime. Block Watch groups become the eyes and ears of the neighborhoods in the
community. For additional information or to schedule a Block Watch meeting call 684-2525.
Business Seminars
A variety of topics are offered to the business community through our crime prevention officer.
Our seminars are designed to aid the business community in management information and
employee training. The seminars include crime prevention, internal theft, fraud, drug awareness,
workplace violence, and more. Employers are provided with crime prevention literature, as well
as other valuable information to help businesses help themselves. To schedule a seminar, or for
additional information contact us at 684-2525.
