Bath Launches 'Virtual Neighborhood Watch'
Police Department joins social media site to share crime news
Bath Township Police have joined a social media site designed to share community information.
Starting Oct. 1, Bath became a member of Nextdoor, a site that encourages neighbors to talk to each other about everything from crime to finding someone to clean their gutters.
"Nextdoor is a tool for us to effectively share crime prevention and safety information with Bath residents," the department said.
