Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch / Home Watch is the best known and most effective example of the police and community working in partnership to prevent crime, build safer communities and improve the quality of life. Learn more about Neighbourhood Watch.

Usually the group appoints a co-ordinator that act as a link with the community and the local police. Members are supplied with stickers, newsletters and crime prevention advice, encouraging members to report suspicious activity. Could you become a Watch Coordinator?
