Mission
Horison Blockwatch’s mission centers on fostering a safer community through active neighbourly engagement and vigilance. By creating a network where residents become acquainted with one another, they aim to deter criminal activities, as offenders often utilize local streets to commit crimes. Regular patrols and community involvement are key strategies in their approach to enhancing neighbourhood security.
Vision
We aim to foster a network where neighbours collaborate to monitor and protect our streets, thereby deterring criminal activities.
Our efforts include organizing community events, such as meet-and-greets, to strengthen community bonds and encourage resident involvement in safety initiatives.
Through these initiatives, Horison Blockwatch strives to build a secure and connected neighbourhood where residents work together to ensure mutual safety and well-being.
