The Hampton Police Division and the City of Hampton has made Crime Prevention and Enforcement, Community Education, and Community Enhancement a high priority impacting the quality of life in Hampton.  City Council has directed that emphasis be placed on developing more Neighborhood Watch groups and further reducing crime in Hampton. Crime Prevention, Community Education and Community Enhancement efforts have received excellent cooperation from all departments within the City.  For example, Neighborhood Watch signs are installed on a high priority basis by the Department of Public Works.  The Zoning Department, Building Department, and Fire Division respond expeditiously whenever a citizen, citizen's group, or police officer brings to their attention a public safety or crime hazard somewhere in the city, i.e., an empty house or garage that is used to conduct illegal activities, a house or building that may be surrounded by high grass or weeds and is used by juveniles to carry out illegal activities.
