Talmadge Neighborhood Watch prevents and reduces crime through community education, neighborhood volunteerism, and police and local government involvement. Block Captains and “BlockWatch” groups on Nextdoor.com are components of Neighborhood Watch, promoting awareness among neighbors and bringing us together! Our neighborhood watch is part of Talmadge’s commitment to a strong and safe community. Talmadge Neighborhood Watch works in connection with The Talmadge Patrol, both of which utilize social media tools such as Googlegroup, Nextdoor.com, and this website to keep the neighborhood informed. In Talmadge, everyone is Neighborhood Watch!
Talmadge Neighborhood Watch has a Block Captain Program in place to encourage neighbors who live in close proximity to watch out for the safety of all. Block Captains keep neighbors informed regarding crime trends and crime prevention. Connected, informed, and watchful blocks are safer blocks and make for a safer neighborhood. Not all blocks in Talmadge have a Block Captain volunteer. If you’d like to know if your block has a captain or are interested in becoming a Block Captain, please contact Mo McElroy at neighborhoodwatch@talmadge.org.
Our SDPD Community Relations Officer is Officer Terry Hoskins. He works closely with Talmadge Patrol and Block Captains to fight crime and urges all neighbors to follow-up with him on any crime information or concerns. Contact our CRO via email at thoskins@pd.sandiego.gov or via his cell number: (760) 807-9957.

National Night Out
National Night Out is a community event every year on the first Tuesday in August. In the past, we have had food trucks, sno-cones, donuts, cookies and glowsticks provided by community members and local sponsors. We are often joined by representatives of our city council member, the mayor and the San Diego Police Department. The event concludes with a community walk through the neighborhood, escorted by our very own Talmadge Watch and Patrol vehicle at dusk. This annual event serves to reinforce our partnership with SDPD and our commitment to crime prevention and safety for all of our residents.
