Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch is about people getting together with their neighbours to take action to reduce crime.

They're community initiatives owned and run by their members which are supported by the police but not owned by them, although we sometimes run them.

They work by developing a close relationship between community members and the local police.

Neighbourhood Watch schemes can:

cut crime and the opportunities for crime

help and reassure those who live in the area

encourage neighbourliness and closer communities

How to join a Watch scheme

You can also find and contact your local Neighbourhood Watch Association or scheme coordinator via the same website for:

more information on how the scheme works

the benefits of the scheme

advice on running a scheme in your local area

If you would like to start your own neighbourhood watch group up, please email us.

You can find out more by visiting Neighbourhood Watch.
