The program has shown success lately as the LFP Police have arrested several burglars after local residents called in suspicious persons in their neighborhoods. Police response has been fast and have stopped several crimes in progress.

The Farmer's Market is held every Sunday from 10am to 3pm.

If you are interested in joining a block watch group, or starting one yourself, contact the Lake Forest Park Police Department Block Watch Coordinator at 206-364-8216 to discuss the program.
