(NewsUSA) - Whether you're fed up with someone stealing your morning paper or concerned about a more serious act, organizing a neighborhood watch may be a good way to help prevent future crimes in your community.
According to the National Crime Prevention Council, neighborhood watch organizations represent one of the oldest and most effective crime prevention systems in the county. The council reports that total personal property crimes have declined substantially in recent years, likely due, at least in part, to community policing.
To achieve the most effective extent of crime prevention, neighborhood watch programs often need more than just volunteers. Street signs and mobile communication devices are some of the most common supplies that programs require, but one company has recently introduced a new product that could help volunteers patrol their communities with a greater degree of diligence. The CruiseCam InCar camera mount, created by CruiseCam International, can be used with any camcorder to record activity and events going on outside a car. What this means for neighborhood watch volunteers is that they could record any suspicious activity or create a surveillance record if a crime occurs as they patrol their streets.
"The CruiseCam camera mount is the perfect equipment for any neighborhood watch group to own, because it can be quickly and easily moved from one vehicle to another," said Scott Watkins, president and chief executive officer of CruiseCam International.
The mount attaches to a car's seat headrests, allowing for hands-free recording. Because it weighs just 1.5 pounds and requires no tools for installation, the mount is easy to transport and quick to set up. Whether neighborhood watch volunteers share a car or use their own to patrol community streets, the camera mount would be easy to bring along.
The product is sold in Ritz Camera, Costco and Pep Boys stores. For more information, visit www.cruisecam.com. CruiseCam International is a publicly traded company under symbol CCMJ on the Pink Sheets.
