Crime Statistics

The Larchmont-Edgewater Civic League is an active participant in the Norfolk Police Department's Police Assisted Community Enforcement (PACE) program. Two PACE officers are assigned to the neighborhood and work with the civic league's neighborhood watch and block security program. To reach them call (757) 441-5610 or (757) 621-6929 (cell phone). To learn more about the PACE program visit http://www.norfolk.gov/Neighborhoods/Services/PACE.asp .

Larchmont-Edgewater's neighborhood watch program was reactivated in 2003 after several years of dormancy. This program encourages neighbors to get to know those who live around them and to report all criminal and suspicious activity. Volunteer block captains help encourage residents to work together to help reduce vandalism, burglaries and other crimes. Laurie Chapman is coordinating the neighborhood watch program. Contact her at laurie@chapman.net to volunteer or find out about the program.

To report non-emergencies to the police call (757) 441-5610. In an emergency situation, dial 911. In some cases, callers will be connected directly to one of the neighborhood PACE officers to help stop crimes in progress.
