Neighbourhood Watch, sometimes also known as Home Watch, is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention initiatives ever.
Behind it is a simple idea and a central value held by millions of people around the country.
Getting together with your neighbours to take action can cut local crime and create a better place to live, work and play.
It's not just about reducing crime figures; it's about creating communities that care. It brings together local people who can make a real contribution to improve their lives.
There are other benefits too; you could become familiar with crime prevention ideas that will help keep your home and belongings safe. The extra security that belonging to a scheme offers might even mean you can get a discount from your insurance company.
The main aims of Neighbourhood Watch are:
a) To reduce local opportunities for crime, thereby deterring would be thieves and vandals.
b) To establish a community spirit so that everyone can contribute towards the protection of their property by mutual co-operation and communication.
c) To inform the co-ordinator or the police of any suspicious activity.
These aims can be achieved by taking just a few easy steps which only take a couple of moments of your time. Basically it's all about keeping your eyes and ears open and reporting anything you may think suspicious to either me or direct to the police.
