English term or phrase: crime watch group
Aus einem behördlichen Flugblatt zum Verhalten im Katastrophenfall:
If you’re a member of a neighborhood organization, such as a home association or **crime watch group**, introduce emergency preparedness as a new activity.
Know your neighbors’ special skills and needs, and consider how you could help them.

Mir ist schon klar was damit gemeint ist....Leute, die sich zur Verhinderung von Straftaten im Wohngebiet einsetzen. Mir fällt bloß kein griffiger Begriff ein.
