How To Help BVTW Prevent Crime
There are many ways Bella Vista neighbors can support the necessary work of the BVTW Crime Prevention Committee.

The first and best way is to do your part by reporting any crime or suspicious activity in the neighborhood. (See “Reporting Crime” information here) It’s also important to attend advertised police/community meetings and voice any concerns.

The BVTW Crime Prevention Committee always welcomes new volunteers in their weekly neighborhood patrols, during which we walk around the neighborhood, talk to our fellow neighbors and monitor any crime or quality of life issues (such as graffiti, illegal dumping or problem properties). New volunteers can email Crime Prevention Committee Chair Nathan Snyder at nsnyder@bvtw.org. All are welcome.

BVTW also needs volunteers to help collect city and neighborhood crime information, represent Bella Vista in community police meetings (reporting information from those meetings to BVTW board members and neighbors) and work with the Crime Prevention Committee to follow neighborhood crime cases.

For more information or to volunteer, email the Crime Prevention Committee at crime@bvtw.org
