PVPD Introduces Dog Walker Watch Initiative

The Prescott Valley Police Department will officially launch its Dog Walker Watch (DWW) program this spring! Dog walkers are invited to join us on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at 4pm in the PD Training Room at 7601 E Skoog Blvd for our informative launch session.

Developed by the National Association of Town Watch (NATW), Dog Walker Watch trains dog owners and walkers to recognize and report suspicious activity while out in their neighborhoods. The program operates in more than 2,000 communities nationwide and is a simple, cost-effective way to enhance neighborhood safety.

Participants will attend a free, one-hour training session to learn what behaviors to watch for, such as individuals looking into vehicles or mailboxes, unusual vehicle activity, and suspicious door-to-door encounters. The focus is on awareness and reporting, not confrontation.

To register for the DWW launch program, please email Desiree Kelly at dkelly@prescottvalley-az.gov.
