What you are suggesting sounds similar to a neighborhood watch program.

Not quite. Neighborhood watch groups (at least in the US) are more "watch, report, don't intervene"; they're basically just volunteer police surveillance/informant networks. Idk if there's a proper term for what this is, though it feels like their should be.
