Communication is critical for Neighborhood Watch programs. Imagine being able to assist in a time of need, but not be able to notify anyone or call for help.

There are a few levels of radios you may consider. In the past, a typical setup may have been with Family or GMRS radios. However, over time, these radios were seen by most to be merely a step above being useful toys. They worked great for a few weeks or months, then fell apart or would not take a charge. The reason for this is they are cheap, but cheaply built and never meant to do more than go to the mall with the kids or maybe go hunting on occasion.
