The Neighborhood Watch Committee
Fox Island is a wonderful community – not just because of its beauty and rural feel, but because it is a safe place to live and raise a family. Fox Island has the lowest crime rate of any community its size, or larger, in Pierce County.
One of the benefits of community interaction is the enhanced safety on Fox Island. This interaction includes watching out for one another and supporting the dedicated efforts of our Neighborhood Watch (NW).
The FICRA Building Trust’s Neighborhood Watch raises money to hire off-duty Sheriff Deputies for extra patrols on Fox Island. Neighborhood Watch functions include observing our school bus stops, vacation home watch, managing alerts on website and media platforms, assisting in emergency response and more. These activities, and the hiring of Sheriff deputies, are a significant expense for the Trust. The Neighborhood Watch Committee is responsible for raising the funds to keep the process working.
FICRA dues, which support recreational and other community activities, cannot be used for the Neighborhood Watch under IRS rules. But you can help ensure our island’s safety and welfare by donating to and/or volunteering to assist the Fox Island Neighborhood Watch.
Home Check Program
The Neighborhood Watch also provides courtesy home checks when requested. NW members will drive by or conduct a visual check of properties for any suspicious activity.
To request a Home Check, please complete the online request form at least 72 hours in advance.
You may also download, complete and mail a printed request form to Fox Island Neighborhood Watch at PO Box 25, Fox Island, WA 98333.

You can also Email us at any time to communicate a concern or to leave a question for Neighborhood Watch.
