Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch Mission Statement
The Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch is a crime prevention organization composed of diverse neighbors. We focus on reducing crime in our neighborhood, increasing home and public safety awareness, and provide information related to crime, safety, and government. We encourage and support neighborhood interactions through planned activities and volunteer opportunities. Our active group members are concerned citizens who strive to protect themselves and their families and display a deep concern to help each other. We do this with quarterly meetings, email based mailing lists, an interactive website, and work together to identify and solve common problems. Our foundation is built on the values of home and public safety, neighborhood unity, and increased quality of life. Current and future neighbors are able to go about their daily lives with the comfort and peace of mind that the neighborhood they live in is safe, friendly, and supportive.
