Neighbourhood Watch
Neighbourhood Watch is a community-run initiative using Partner Agencies such as the Police and Council to help prevent crime and anti-social behaviour in your area.
How can Neighbourhood Watch help me?
- Provide reassurance to local residents, especially the elderly, to reduce the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour
- Encourage neighbourliness and closer communities
- Cut crime and the opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour
- Improve the quality of life for local residents and tenants
- Work together with the police, local authorities and other agencies to reduce crime and disorder by sharing information
- Identify issues of local concern, involve the community in deciding what problems to target and what actions to take
- Provide feedback to residents in return for intelligence and incidents reported to the police. Most insurance companies will give a discount if you are in a registered NHW scheme
- Together we can make PACT (Partners and Communities Together) work.
What can I do to help Neighbourhood Watch?
Keep an eye out for trouble and repor any suspicious activity to the Police or NHW Liaison Officer. Reporting can be anonymous.
NHW can be run pro-actively or covertly, whichever suits best
Contact the Neighbourhood Watch Liaison Officer for North Kent on: 01474 366360 for further details
GO ON, GIVE IT A GO – MAKE YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD A SAFER PLACE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY!
