What is Neighbourhood Watch?
A way of developing close links within the community
and with the Police, Local Authority and other organisations. The main aim is to
help reduce crime and the fear of crime by:
Why do we need Neighbourhood Watch?
Home Office figures show a decline in reported
crime, however, there is still a lot of work to be done in reducing crime and just
as importantly in reducing the fear of crime. Police numbers are growing slowly,
but they cannot combat crime on their own. People feel less fearful of crime if there
is a good community spirit. Criminals feel uncomfortable committing crime in such
areas as they are more likely to be noticed, reported and caught. By helping the
Police you are helping yourself and the community in which you live.
