What is Neighbourhood Watch?
Neighbourhood Watch is an organized group of neighbours looking out for one another and each other’s property. It costs nothing to join. Members stay alert to crime and suspicious activity, share what they see openly, and work hand in hand with law enforcement. That makes streets safer and helps bring crime down. It also brings neighbours closer, so the street faces problems together.
As a member, you become part of one of the largest crime prevention efforts in Mississauga, run in partnership with Peel Regional Police. Let’s build a safer, stronger community together.
Three steps to a safer street.
You don’t need to be an expert. You just need to be a neighbour who cares. We handle the rest.

Questions, answered
Something else on your mind? Call 905-615-4155 ext. 4476 or email info@safecitymississauga.on.ca.
Does it cost anything?
No. Joining is free, and so is everything listed above, from Team Lead training and the CPTED audit to signage and the SafeCityApp.
How much time does it take?
Signing up takes less than two minutes, and there’s no commitment beyond wanting a safer street. Neighbours who want to do more can become a Team Lead, canvassing local residents and coordinating safety events with Safe City Mississauga’s support.
What happens after I sign up?
We connect you with the Neighbourhood Watch already active on your street, or help you start a new one. A new Watch gets Team Lead training, an activation meeting led by Safe City Mississauga, a crime prevention audit and official signage. From then on, your Watch keeps in touch through the SafeCityApp.
Do I have to lead the group?
No. You can simply join as a member. Team Lead is a volunteer role for the neighbour who starts or runs a Watch, and it comes with training and ongoing support.
Who sees my information?
The SafeCityApp is a secure, members-only community. You give a minimal amount of personal information to get access, and none of it is sold, shared, rented or disclosed outside Safe City Mississauga. You can hide your name and email from others in your group at any time. More in our privacy policy.
How are the police involved?
Neighbourhood Watch runs in partnership with Peel Regional Police. When a new Watch has its crime prevention audit, Peel Regional Police and your local Councillor are invited.
