The Madera County Sheriff's Department provides a variety of assistance to local citizens who are interested in working with other residents to prevent burglary and other crimes in their community. The Department will provide data about recent crimes near your home and we will help you work with nearby residents to reduce the risk of such crimes.

There are currently eight Neighborhood Watch groups operating in the county. If you would like more information about creating a Neighborhood Watch group on your street, call your local Madera County Sheriff's Community Service Officer for assistance.
