LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Lakeport Police Department coordinates an active Neighborhood Watch program throughout the city of Lakeport and is looking to expand its network of neighbors looking out for each other.

The program operates by groups of neighbors organizing to watch for suspicious or criminal activity and report this activity to the police.

Lakeport Police Department’s Neighborhood Watch coordinator in turn keeps these groups informed on up-to-date crime trends in their neighborhood and provides education on home security and safety concerns.

For more information, or if you would like to join an existing neighborhood watch group or help organize a new group in your neighborhood, contact Officer Joe Eastham at Lakeport Police Department, 707-263-5491 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
