On Tuesday,
February 16, 2010, Mayor
Buddy Dyer recognized block captains of
the Neighborhood Watch Unit for their service at
the annual Neighborhood Watch Unit Leaders Forum
hosted by the Orlando Police Department (OPD). The
continuity and success of the Neighborhood Watch
program hinges on the block captain. The block
captain is a community member who acts as a
liaison between those who work and live in a
particular area and the officers assigned to
that neighborhood. Through the block captain,
and through Neighborhood Watch meetings,
officers pass along crime prevention tips and
information to members of the community. For
