Third Watch

For the Third Watch and If I Were a Thief Programs, night shift officers drive through our Town or patrol on foot, checking our businesses and residential communities for security concerns. The officers check for unse-cured doors, windows, and unlocked vehicles. When each officer completes their check of the business, they leave behind a tall, bright yellow card informing the owner or management that their property was checked and it was found to be secure at a specific date and time. If an officer does discover an issue with security, they note it on the card, making suggestions on how to better safeguard the property in the future. Third Watch cards are also used to update contact information to ensure an open channel of communication. Com-pleted cards can be dropped off or mailed to the Police Department.
