Alert Neighbor Program (Nosey Neighbor Program)

The Alert Neighbor Program emphasizes community involvement in addressing crime and safety concerns in Milwaukee neighborhoods. The program is a partnership between neighborhood block clubs, the Milwaukee Police Department, the City of Milwaukee, and local non-profits to evaluate persisting neighborhood issues and develop strategies to reduce the problems. The Alert Neighbor Program assists neighborhood block clubs in identifying and implementing strategies, like reporting criminal activity, holding regular neighborhood meetings, and planning neighborhood improvement projects, to reduce safety concerns. Additionally, the program provides funding for physical improvements in the neighborhood.
