Racine Neighborhood Watch, Inc.
Racine Neighborhood Watch, Inc. (RNW) is a registered 501(c)3 organization founded in 1981 to organize and empower residents to take responsibility for their neighborhoods. Our mission is to assist residents in creating safe, friendly and attractive neighborhoods throughout the Racine community.
Through longstanding partnerships with local and regional law enforcement, local officials and other agencies, we have helped residents in formerly troubled areas reclaim their neighborhoods, as borne out by large decreases in violent crime in central city areas in recent years.
Crime prevention and quality of life concerns are important to all residents. RNW has held about 800 block watch meetings; currently there are nearly 350 active blocks throughout the Racine community. We host monthly neighborhood meetings, most of which are held at COP Houses throughout the City of Racine and the Village of Mount Pleasant. We also do neighborhood advocacy and community-building projects. RNW serves the Racine-area community and Racine County, with a focus on low-to-moderate income areas.
NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME AND DRUGS
Since 1982, National Night Out has been an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neighborhoods safer, better places to live. On August 2, 2022, Racine held its 31st annual NNO! There were more than 56 registered events which hosted more than 5500 people. National Night Out culminates annually on the first Tuesday of August so register now the celebration of National Night Out in your neighborhood on Tuesday, August 1, 2023!
Each year in our combined programs, we work with about 7,000 residents in low-to moderate-income areas and another 3,000 local residents in other areas. We have two full-time paid staff and over 800 volunteers.We forge community partnerships ranging from our very well-known relationship with the Racine and Mount Pleasant Police Departments and other law enforcement agencies, to other municipal and County departments,many churches and community organizations too numerous to list. If it has to do with neighborhoods and community building, chances are good that RNW is involved. Our staying power is evident through the commitment we see in our block captains and people at neighborhood meetings, the many repeat events on National Night Out, and the people who know they can call us anytime because we are there for them.
