The San Marino Neighborhood Watch is Watching

The quiet tree lined streets of San Marino, peaceful, calm, and under constant surveillance? No it's not "Big Brother" and although the top notch San Marino Police department is out to keep the streets safe, the Neighborhood Watch program is a separate initiative, that pushes neighborhoods and communities to work together in curbing burglaries, robberies, and other crimes. According to the recent San Marino Tribune article (New Police Detective Will Head Neighborhood Watch), recently assigned Officer Harry Terrill will head up program, but after having the chance to discuss this with him, we've found that rather than actually organize the neighborhoods individually, his goal is to educate and disseminate the information needed for the residents of San Marino to form their own neighborhood watches. It's about people looking out for people, maintaining a community through the community. Sounds like a good plan to me. This is just one of the many reasons that San Marino is such a desirable city and San Marino homes for sale continue to maintain their value in this market, so if you want to join this community or would like more information on the neighborhood watch give us a call at (626) 215-4105 or email us, and we will get you through to the right people.
