The Community Crime Watch Program was established in 1995 in the Town of St. Joseph through the dedicated efforts of volunteer Coordinators and Captains. The program continues to grow and remain successful because of strong member participation.

Membership       Member sign-up forms are available at the Town Hall or from Community Crime Watch Coordinators and Captains. Membership is free and participation only takes a few minutes of your time to make a telephone call to a neighbor to relay "Alert Status" information. Reflective 8" x 10" Community Crime Watch signs are available to members for $10.00 each. For additional information about the Community Crime Watch Program, to become a member or purchase a sign: contact one of the Community Crime Watch Program Coordinators: Dave at 381-4350 (then press #1),  Patty at 386-7764, Brett or Mary at 549-6410

New "E-Member" Informational System Available              A new "E-member" Informational System is now available for Community Crime Watch members residing in the Town of St. Joseph. Members who would like to receive the Informational Updates via e-mail will need to provide their e-mail address to a Community Crime Watch Coordinator or their Neighborhood Captain.

The "E-member" Informational Updates are compiled by the St. Croix County Sheriff's Department and tailored to specifically focus on Community Crime Watch interests. Information regarding recent suspicious activity, persons, burglaries and scams occurring in St. Croix County will be sent to "E-members" via e-mail. The Informational Updates will also provide personal and home safety suggestions for you and your family along with how not to become a victim of the latest con-artist schemes.

Any "Alert Status" information that is specific to the Town of St. Joseph will continue to be disseminated via Community Crime Watch Coordinators and Neighborhood Captains through the telephone calling chain system, as in the past.

Always be Alert and Aware         The St. Croix County Sheriff, Community Crime Watch Coordinators and Captains encourage you to be alert and aware of the surroundings beyond your own home and property line and make a conscious effort to become more involved. If you see someone or some thing that looks or seems suspicious, immediately call 911 and report it, don't wait!

Also, remember to look for our booth at the annual St. Joseph Town Festival in September.
