For more than 60 years, the
National Sheriffs’ Association has
been committed to the safety and
security of America’s communities.
For more than 30 years, The National
Neighborhood Watch Program, an
initiative of NSA, has been one of the
most effective ways for citizens to
become involved with law enforcement
for the protection of our neighborhoods.
In 2002, USAonWatch was
created under President Bush’s
Citizen Corps initiative to
empower citizens to become
directly involved with Neighborhood
Watch for the purpose of
homeland security.
