Eniswood is part of Neighborhood
Watch. This is the fastest growing crime prevention program in the United States. Promoted by the Pinellas County
Sheriff’s Office, Neighborhood Watch focuses on the concept of “Neighbors Helping Neighbors”. Every
neighbor is considered a Member of our community’s Neighborhood Watch.
Eniswood’s Chairperson: Luis Cid
The Pinellas County
Sheriff’s Office provides several free services and programs under the Neighborhood Watch program:
- Sheriff’s Watch Information System: This system provides fast and
efficient communication with the citizens of Pinellas County for localized emergencies, crime information, lost children alerts,
and Neighborhood Watch notifications.

“Combat Auto Theft” (C.A.T) is an auto theft deterrence program. Participants of the program sign a consent form
allowing law enforcement to stop their vehicle if it is being driven between 1am and 5am. The program is voluntary and free.
Vehicles are identified be a special decal in the rear window.

Some Useful
Telephone Numbers County Sheriff's Office 582-6200 Emergency 911 (Crime in progress,
threat to human life, medical emergency or fire) Crimes not in progress, Suspicious activity, (late reporting),
or to request a Deputy to take a report 582-6177.
Documentation of activity or crime in our neighborhood
is important. If not reported and documented the Sheriff's Office won't know about it and can't track these activities. Reporting
criminal activity can take time and can interrupt a busy schedule but it is important so we can all help to keep our area
safe.
