I am re-watching King of the Hill and Hank Hill is the block captain of Rainy Street. Is that a thing all over the US or more state or city specific? Is this a serious side-job and does a block captain get something in return? And how to become one?

The show I’m watching has neighbor watch where the characters stand watch at night. Is this a real thing?
Do Americans really have someone from the neighborhood posted up on guard every night?
Only time in my life I’ve ever seen guards posted at night was when I was in the military.
I could see it plausibly happening in an area with major rioting and wide spread civil disorder. Other than that, nope.
