If you see anything that seems suspicious, contact law enforcement immediately! If an actual crime is taking place, the sooner you inform law enforcement, the more likely they can take care of the problem. Don’t worry about bothering law enforcement or appearing foolish if what you have witnessed is not actually criminal activity. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Harris County Constable’s Office, Precinct 4 want residents to contact them whenever they see something suspicious.

The Woodlands does have a low crime rate. That is exactly why we have an active watch program in our community. We want to keep the crime rate low. The best time to get involved in a watch program is before a community has a lot of crime. The Woodlands Township Neighborhood Watch provides residents with information they can use to help keep their families and neighborhoods from becoming victims of crime.
By not being proactive when it comes to crime prevention, we can create an atmosphere that is conducive to crime. Criminals quickly learn which neighborhoods are lax about safety precautions. For example, criminals know that residents in The Woodlands often keep their vehicle doors unlocked. As a result, one of the most prevalent crimes in The Woodlands is Burglary of Motor Vehicles (BMVs), which is the theft of items from a vehicle.
No. Residents just need to take simple, easy safety precautions. In fact, most of these precautions won’t cost you anything. These include keeping your vehicle and residence doors locked, not opening the door to anyone you do not know, having sufficient outdoor lighting, and knowing who your neighbors are.
The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office and Harris County Constable’s Office Precinct 4 do an excellent job of patrolling our community, but they cannot be everywhere at all times. In addition, if we are familiar with our neighborhoods and the people who live there, we are much more likely than anyone else – including a law enforcement officer – to be aware when something or someone looks suspicious.
Soliciting is not illegal in The Woodlands. However, as a resident, you make the choice of whether to listen or buy from a solicitor.
