The National Sheriffs' Association names the National Neighborhood Watch Institute the only National Neighborhood Watch–approved vendor of its official Neighborhood Watch signs — signs that carry the Boris the Burglar® service mark, reproduced with the NSA's permission under license.
Plenty of vendors print generic watch signs. The difference with NNWI is a written license: we are authorized by the National Sheriffs' Association to reproduce its protected Neighborhood Watch marks. Here is exactly what that license covers.
The National Sheriffs' Association names NNWI the only National Neighborhood Watch–approved vendor of these signs — a written license, not a look-alike. See the NSA's page →
The Boris the Burglar logo design is a trademark of the NSA and a service mark of the NSA. NNWI reproduces it with the NSA's permission — not as a look-alike.
Engineer-grade reflective aluminum, agency and jurisdiction customization, Net-30, PO, and government procurement — the way departments actually buy.
This attribution is printed on the official Neighborhood Watch signs we manufacture — the same language that appears on the product:
“The Boris the Burglar logo design is a trademark of National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) and is reproduced with NSA's permission. Boris the Burglar is a service mark of NSA. NNWI is a Licensee of NSA and is authorized to use the Boris the Burglar mark.”
And confirmed publicly by the NSA itself, on its official Neighborhood Watch Signs & Products page:
“[NNWI is] the only NNW-approved vendor for these signs.” — National Sheriffs' Association, sheriffs.org · Neighborhood Watch Signs & Products
