The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) has long been committed to the safety and security of America's communities. National Sheriffs' Association created the National Neighborhood Watch Program in 1972 to unite law enforcement agencies, private organizations, and individual citizens, in a massive effort to reduce residential crime. You can read more about the Neighborhood Watch by clicking About USAonwatch.

As we face one of the most serious challenges to the American way of life, law enforcement agencies across the country, are prepared to meet the challenge, and do their part in the fight against terrorism. We have transformed Neighborhood Watch by giving it a new mission - secure the homeland by encouraging, promoting & empowering people, to get involved in their communities, through Neighborhood Watch.

In the 2002 State of the Union Message, President Bush challenged all Americans to become involved in Homeland Security efforts and he specifically charged the National Sheriffs' Association with the mission to promote, and increase the number of Neighborhood Watches; making safe and secure neighborhoods, the foundation of a safe and secure nation. Our presidential mandate is to double the number of neighborhood watches.
