“Statistically after setting up a Block Watch in your neighborhood ,crime will reduce by 50 percent.As well, you will get to know your neighbors and have some fun in the process. In the past six months there have been eight block watches set up throughout Nanaimo. All participants in the program have since expressed a sense of wellness and security in their respective communities and their only regret is not starting one earlier,said Constable Gary O’Brien Media spokesperson for the Nanaimo RCMP.
