Neighborhood Watch Comes Into The Future With Digital Scanners From Bearcat Warehouse
/EINPresswire.com/ Old fashioned neighborhood watch groups are stocking up on new gear and devices, hoping to keep watch members and residents alike safer.
Since the 1960s, neighborhood watch groups have formed all over America, banding together to protect themselves and each other. At first, these groups simply patrolled their respective areas and reported any suspicious activity to police, protected by the strength of numbers. As time has gone on, they have come to be unofficial police in some areas, complete with vests and badges.
In 2012, neighborhood watch organizations have been pulled under the microscope due to the attention surrounding George Zimmerman, neighborhood watch captain and alleged murderer. As a national debate rages over whether neighborhood watch groups should have less power or more power, a third option is rarely discussed. By keeping the neighborhood watch groups but giving them new tools, communities may find their reach just as useful without putting themselves or anyone else in harm's way.
Online retailer Bearcat Warehouse carries many of the supplies that a neighborhood watch group can use to make their presence more digital. Live police scanners provide a way for the group to know what the local police and fire/rescue teams are doing, and CB Radios provide a simple way for members of the watch group to stay in touch.
A digital scanner like the Uniden Home Patrol unit automatically connects the user to all local public safety channels based on postal Zip Code. With a police scanner, citizens can monitor exactly what the police are doing or planning to do, and which areas are in danger.
"Our scanners and radios are ideal for any organization that wants to work in support of the local police force," said Michael Walters of Bearcat Warehouse. "For these types of groups, being able to communicate effectively is key."
In addition to live police scanners and CB radios, Bearcat Warehouse also carries two way radios, marine radios, and NASCAR racing scanners. All of the scanners are available to ship the same day and are guaranteed to be brand new and not "refurbished."
