Neighborhood Watch Lowers Crime
Paramount’s Neighborhood Watch Program, which has neighborhood Watch Leaders throughout the city, is a way for residents to help the City and the Sheriff’s Department prevent crime before it starts. Communities with healthy Neighborhood Watch participation rates tend to have less crime than areas that don’t.

The Good Neighbor Program-Landlord Training
In a preemptive effort to fight crime in neighborhoods that consist mainly of multi-unit rental housing, the City has developed its Good Neighbor Program, which takes a dual approach to address and curtail the pr oblem of criminal behavior.
The City-sponsored classes cover such topics as tenant screening techniques, evicting problem tenants, developing effective rental agreements, and recognizing criminal activity.
In 2000, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development gave a Best Practices Award to the program for Innovation.
