Neighbourhood Watch
Neighbourhood Watch is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention initiatives. ... This is why Neighbourhood Watch is all about an active partnership with the police. Neighbourhood Watch schemes can cut crime and the opportunities for crime; help and reassure those who live in; and encourage neighbourliness and closer communities. Neighbourhood Watch is not just about reducing burglary figures - it’s about creating communities who care. ... The activity of Watch members can foster a new community spirit and a belief in the community’s ability to deal with problems. ... Neighbourhood Watch systems can be large, covering, for example most of the households on an estate or they might involve just half a dozen houses.
