Town Watch

The Newbold Neighbors Association Town Watch committee is working with various city services, including the 17th and the 1st Philadelphia Police Districts, Town Watch Integrated Services, and Philadelphia 311, to create awesomeness throughout our entire community.

Submitting A 311 Report

311 is a city service designed to handle non-emergency complaints and information requests across the various city agencies.

We're experimenting with a new method of getting information about 311 issues. Please use the SeeClickFix Report form below. Our Town Watch is monitoring the submissions and will follow up on issues that aren't being dealt with in a timely manner.

The Newbold community spans two police districts: issues from Washington Ave. to Moore St. are handled by the Philadelphia Police 17th District, while south of Moore St. is patrolled by the Philadelphia Police 1st District.

Making a 911 Call

If calling to report a crime in progress, note the number of people involved and as much information about their physical description as possible, including clothing.
If a vehicle is involved, try to get the car color, make, model, and if possible, license plate.
Give as precise an address as possible.
Don't call 911 for questions about city services or for non-emergencies - use 311 instead.
