Operation Town Watch is an organization dedicated to the development and promotion of organized, law enforcement-affiliated crime and drug prevention programs.
Members include: Neighborhood, Crime, Community, Town and Block Watch Groups; law enforcement agencies; state and regional crime prevention associations; and a variety of businesses, civic groups and concerned individuals working to make their communities safer places in which to live and work.
The recruiting and training of Town Watch groups is combined with empowerment efforts and support to create what is called Town Watch Integrated Services (TWIS). For more information on Town Watch and Town Watch Integrated Services, visit Philadelphia Operation Town Watch.
