Harold Krantz, president of the Bella Vista Crime Watch, types up cards with information about stolen property while volunteering at the Benton County Sheriff’s Office in Bentonville. Krantz has been volunteering with the crime watch program for 20 years and with the Sheriff’s Office for more than 10 years.
The concept of neighbors watching for crime in their neighborhood is fine, local law enforcement officials said, but it depends on the people involved how well such programs work.
