The watch that I served with had a single patrol car with identification on it and there was always a 12 gauge shotgun in it. We patrolled in pairs and the AO was patrolled 24/7.

When I lived in LA a friend of mine's parents were pretty well off. His dad was some kind of a specialist surgeon and his mom was a lawyer. They lived in a very nice gated community that had a neighborhood watch that had vehicles. They didn't have guns, but they did have uniforms and tasers. I guess part of the deal with living in this community is that you had to volunteer to be on the community watch at least once per year or you had to pay a pretty hefty fine.
They took their neighborhood watch pretty damn seriously. One car always sat by the entrance gate. If the car coming in was one they didn't recognize they would follow it around until it either pulled into a house and the people were greeted and let into the home or until it left.
