The Hoover Police Department has a Neighborhood Watch Program as well as a Business Watch Program that are overseen by Officer Brian Foreman. To organize a Neighborhood Watch for your block or a Business Watch please contact Ofc. Foreman at 444-7700 or via e-mail at
foremanr@ci.hoover.al.us
Ofc. Foreman will help organize a meeting and distribute all the material necessary to make the program succeed in your particular area. Our goal is to have all of the Bluff Park residents and businesses covered by the Watch Programs. The column on the right will have meeting updates as well as links to Watch web sites and downloads for documents related to the watch program.

Please remember what Ofc. Foreman told us at the November 2006 meeting: If you see something or someone suspicious, CALL THE HOOVER POLICE DEPARTMENT AT 822-5300. He said they would rather respond and investigate something that turns out to be nothing than to respond to a crime because nobody called.
On November 14, 2006 we had a neighborhood meeting at the Community School to discuss not only the news regarding the police sub-station opening in Bluff Park, but also getting the Neighborhood Watch organized. Well, the holidays are over so it's time to get started on this. The above e-mail is a perfect example of why this is so important. BluffParkAl.org's own Heather Staggs has done a write up on what it takes to get your block organized. To read the story, please click here.
