PNP Mission Statement

The Phoenix Neighborhood Patrol (P.N.P.) program establishes an organized, coordinated method for citizen volunteers to participate directly in local crime prevention by actively patrolling their own neighborhood and interacting more effectively with local law enforcement, without ever become directly involved in what they are reporting.

Who knows more about your neighborhood than you? A patrol officer would recognize an obvious crime as it is happening in their presence, but in your personal observations, you would recognize even a slight difference which to you is as a possible problem that would alert you to an immediate 911 call. You are the best, the most qualified person for the job and you are appreciated for what you do! Hundreds, even thousands more like you are needed! – Share your pride, suggest to your friends and neighbors that they train as PNP members.

If you have serious concerns about a neighbor who may need help, but you prefer to not be involved, possibly endangering yourself, call 911! Explain the situation and request a “welfare check” at the address of concern. An example may be the home of elderly folks whom have not been seen for a while, perhaps there is a health or other welfare concern, or have a recently broken window and you fear a crime may be in progress in the home.
