Introduction
We have established "block watches" throughout the neighborhood, which serve the purpose of getting to know our neighbors and interacting once in a while with the MVPD to hear what's going on. We encourage all residents of Monta Loma to report any suspicious activities or unfortunate incidents that occur, because the police cannot help us unless they know what is going on. The police are grateful for our participation. They see residents as essential "eyes and ears" for them, with observations not infrequently leading to the apprehension of criminals. They welcome the reports we make and accept phone reporting, web reporting, and in-person reporting for our convenience. They also offer advice on how to deal with door-to-door solicitors and provide a variety of services, including mediation, to help us ensure that our neighborhood remains peaceful and low in crime.
Block Captains So far we have established Neighborhood Watches for these areas:

Monta Loma is a safe neighborhood, and we are working together with the
Mountain View Police Department (MVPD) to keep it that way. Neighborhood Watch is a
program focused on ensuring that all residents are familiar with the many
free services the police department provides, are aware of the basics of
protecting their home and property, know their neighbors, and are familiar
with the various methods for reporting problems to the police if they are a
witness to or victim of a crime.
