Security
Neighborhood Watch
Neighbors watching out for neighbors is one of the best ways to discourage crime in a community
The Trilogy at Monarch Dunes Neighborhood Watch (NW) program currently covers roughly 500 homes spread across 20+ watch groups.
Take personal responsibility for your security and preparedness. Secure your home (go to the Security page), prepare for major emergencies (go to the Preparedness page), and participate in a Neighborhood Watch group. NW teaches you to recognize what is normal and what is suspicious behavior. It strengthens your relationship with your neighbors by promoting common security interests.
