How is Neighborhood Watch organized?
A representative from the Crime Prevention Unit will visit your civic league or neighborhood association to help you get started. We suggest that you discuss this idea with your members first to find out how many will be willing to participate in the process. Three major roles need to be filled in order for Neighborhood Watch to function properly: one Coordinator, several Block Captains, and numerous “Watchers.”
Call the Crime Prevention Unit at 757-664-6901 to set this up.
2.
How and where do I register a bicycle?
Individuals residing in the City of Norfolk may register and obtain a Bike Registration Decal by taking the bicycle to one of the locations listed below during normal business hours and completing the required registration application. Once obtained the decal must be affixed to the bicycle as set forth in City Code Section 25-380.
The bicycle being registered must be present in order for Officer to verify the Serial Number.
We are unable to post the registration form as they are serialized to match the decal that the citizens receive when they register.

We would like a speaker for our meeting. Who do we call?
The Crime Prevention Unit serves as the Speaker’s Bureau for the Norfolk Police Department. Call the Crime Prevention Unit at 757-664-6901 to make arrangements.
4.
I hear that you have a service where officers will come to my home and tell me what I need to do to make it safer. How much does this cost
You’re referring to a Home Security Survey. There is no cost for this service, nor for the Business Security Survey, which is conducted the same way. We will arrange a time that is mutually convenient for you and the inspecting officer. Call the Crime Prevention Unit at 757-664-6901 to make arrangements.
5.
Our organization would like to have McGruff, the Crime Dog as a special guest for children at an upcoming event. Will an officer be available on this date?
McGruff the Crime Dog can appear at community events as long as requirements in the Borrower’s Responsibilities Form are met. Officers, however, do not perform the role of McGruff. A member of your organization can wear the McGruff costume for your event, as long as it takes place within the City of Norfolk. The wearer of the costume must behave in a friendly, appropriate manner and may not use tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs while the costume is worn.
Your organization is required to have the trench coat and trousers dry cleaned prior to returning the costume to the Crime Prevention Unit (accompanied by receipt from dry cleaners).
6.
Do you have any tips for staying safe during the holidays?
Yes, we have a list of holiday safety tips available on our website, along with a number of Crime Prevention handouts. See the brochures listed under Crime Prevention Unit. Feel free to duplicate and distribute.
