There are hundreds of dog walkers throughout Renton at all times of the day or night. They are often preoccupied with texting, social media, listening to music or on phone calls. Dog Walker Watch is a crime awareness program that encourages dog walkers to set aside those distractions and assist the Renton Police Department as extra eyes and ears in our on-going crime prevention efforts.
The Program
Dog Walker Watch trains you how to effectively observe and report suspicious or criminal activity as you are routinely out in your neighborhood. You know your neighborhood best and are in the best position to spot anything that looks unusual or out of place.
August 2023 Training Class (**There are some reports the registry link may no longer be working for everyone. If that's the case, please email Cyndie Morris directly: [email protected]. Thank you.)
A Dog Walker Watch training class will be held on Thursday, August 24, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.
Until then, we have tips on what to look for and how to report suspicious activity while you're walking in your neighborhood. If you have questions regarding Dog Walker Watch, please email Cyndie Morris, Communications & Engagement Unit.
