Neighbourhood Watch is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention initiatives ever. Behind it lies a simple idea, and a central value shared by millions of people:

GETTING TOGETHER WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS TO TAKE ACTION CAN CUT LOCAL CRIME.

Everyone knows that the police are there to fight crime, but they need your help to do an effective job.

Neighbourhood Watch is all about an effective partnership with the police and can:

Cut crime and the opportunities for crime.

Help and reassure those who live in fear of crime.

Encourage neighbourliness and closer communities: knowing your neighbours enables you to be aware of strangers in your community.
