Does Stoneham Need Neighborhood Watch Groups?

After reading our latest and other police-related stories on Stoneham Patch in the past, DDiOrio, one of our readers, wrote: "Wow, I feel like everyday I am reading an overall increase in crimes through Stoneham, especially break-ins, larceny, and quick theft ... Maybe we all should think about creating neighborhood watch programs within the town to look out for one another. If we have more eyes and ears watching our neighborhoods, we would all be a little safer."

So, with that in mind, we'd like to know: Does Stoneham need neighborhood watch groups? 

Is there enough crime in Stoneham to warrant the formation of neighborhood watch groups? Or are things fine just the way they are? Let us know what you think by posting a comment in the comments section below.
