NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH
Neighborhood Watch is a crime prevention program that enlists the
active participation of citizens in cooperation with law enforcement to reduce
crime in their communities. It involves: neighbors getting to know each other
and working together in a program of mutual assistance; citizens being trained
to recognize and report suspicious activities in their neighborhoods; and
implementation of crime prevention techniques such as home security, operation
Identification, etc. To organize a Neighborhood Watch program in your
neighborhood, you may contact one of the following:

eCAP
Email Community Alert Program (eCAP) The eCAP (Email Community Alert
Program) was created by the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office to prevent and
reduce crime by raising community awareness, minimizing opportunities for
crime and increasing the possibility of solving crimes with the public's help.
Cupertino residents may voluntarily register their e-mail addresses with the
Sheriff's Office for community alert messages. Citizens can sign-up at a
Neighborhood Watch meeting, or log-on to the City of Cupertino's eCap on line
registration.
Group e-mails are divided into predetermined beat areas. If the Sheriff's
Office recognizes crime series, patterns or trends, information will be
e-mailed to participants within selected beat areas in Cupertino.
Community alert messages will indicate the type of crime; the block number and
street name; day, date, and time elements; as well as a brief description of
the method used by the suspect(s). It may also include a request for
assistance in identifying suspicious persons or vehicles that may be
associated with the crime.
All personal information obtained from program participants is kept
confidential. It will not be used for political or personal use.
