Lochmere has an active Community Watch program. The Community Watch Team schedules meetings periodically at which Cary Police leaders join us to discuss any recent criminal activity and offer safety and communication suggestions. An active email communications network is in place and continually expanding by which we carry on two-way communications in the neighborhood to validate any urgent crime/safety matters with Cary Police and forward accurate information to residents. 

Lochmere Community Watch is committed to the effective two-way communication of information with regard to improvement of safety in our neighborhood.  All residents are encouraged to "subscribe" to receive blast emails, monitor the news page, keep a watchful eye for neighbors, and contribute.

Residents are strongly discouraged from patrolling activity and direct approach of any suspicious individuals.  Any suspicious activity or individuals should be immediately reported to Cary Police by phoning 911 if it is urgent or 919.469.4012 if it is not an emergency situation.  You can also call 311
