neighborhood patrol
Community safety rounds
A neighborhood patrol is an organized effort by residents to monitor their area for suspicious activity or crime.
Members typically walk or drive through streets, watching for problems and reporting them to police rather than intervening directly.
The neighborhood patrol spotted someone trying car doors at 2 a.m.
Such groups range from informal arrangements among neighbors to structured programs with schedules and training.
