Hamburg Crime Watch 

Hamburg Crime Watch needs your help to keep our town safe and crime free. 

Did you know?

Reading has the 3rd highest crime rate in the state of Pennsylvania. Most crimes in Reading are drug related. Hamburg is only 21 miles from Reading. 

The Hamburg Police Department is doing their job but they can't be everywhere. The people of Hamburg need to help as much as we can, as all good citizens should. The residents of Hamburg can lend a hand by joining crime watch. 

Crime watch is not a civilian police department, or a vigilante group; we are the eyes and ears of the police department. If we see something suspicious, we contact the police officer on duty.

 We : 

Work with police knowledge. We are in contact with the Hamburg police department at all times.

We always patrol in pairs. 

We do not get out of the car to confront anyone. We report suspicious activity to the Officer on duty. 

Now is the time to get in involved.  We need to let criminals know that we are out there and we will be watching. As individuals, we can be part of the problem or part of the solution. Please help keep our town crime and drug free. If you have any Questions about crime watch or want to join please contact us at:
