Sharing Neighbourhood Alert with Police Forces and Neighbourhood Watch around the country
VISAV’s Neighbourhood Alert communication tool was developed during 2008/9 and went live in 2010 with our first licensee, Leicestershire Police, and their branding of Neighbourhood Link.
Since this time, we have sponsored and spoken at many conferences held by our stakeholders, plus hosted our own. The following images give an overview of many of these.
March 2022
We were delighted to return to hosting an in-person conference on 25th March 2022 at the Nottingham Belfry. Many of our delegates joined us for drinks and dinner the night before followed by Roulette and Blackjack, spending the Bank of Neighbourhood Alert money!
Yet again, we were supported by many of the organisations that successfully use Neighbourhood Alert. They presented working examples of evidence led engagement and registrations leading to representative communication with local communities.

Spring 2021
Neighbourhood Alert Virtual Conference
On Thursday the 18th of March, the Alert Virtual Conference took place via Microsoft Teams (due to the pandemic situation). With the help of our amazing partners, we were able to provide at least some of the excitement and thought-provoking content that our event usually brings.
