Neighborhood Watch

Crime prevention is a personal and community responsibility. We strongly encourage our community members to work together, in partnership with the Fredericktown Police Department, to keep our community safe and resistant to criminal activity. The Police cannot be everywhere at all times, so we rely on our community members to assist in reporting suspicious activity in a timely manner, and assist in being a good witness when the need arises. Please join us at one of our monthly neighborhood watch meetings to learn how you can help make a difference. These meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month, with the exception of December, at 6:30 p.m. at the Fredericktown Municipal Building. Please join us at one of these meeting to learn more about how you can have an impact on the crime in your neighborhood. If you witness something that you feel needs an immediate response by a police officer, the fastest way to reach us is by dialing 911. However, if you have concerns in your neighborhood that do not require an immediate response, we can be reached in any of the following ways:

  • To have an officer dispatched at any time, call 740-694-9222, press option #1
  • To leave a message on our crime tip line, call 740-694-9222, press option #8
  • To email a crime tip or information, email: tmyers@fredericktownpolice.com

We look forward to speaking with you about any concerns that you may have, as the citizens of Fredericktown are a vital piece of the crime prevention puzzle.   Below are some resources to assist you in making your home and community a safer place:
