After a brief winter break, the Wheeling Police Department invites all city residents to attend in-person neighborhood crime watch meetings beginning next week.
The department currently holds seven monthly crime watch meetings in various neighborhoods throughout the city. Meetings are very informal and are held to build relationships with residents by working together on crime-related issues through conversation. Officers also provide monthly statistics and talk about upcoming police events and initiatives.
