How Does Neighbourhood Watch Work?

Neighbourhood Watch is a community-led crime prevention initiative. Schemes can vary in size from a few houses to entire villages. While supported by police, Neighbourhood Watch schemes are not run by them.

Led by Volunteers

Each Neighbourhood Watch scheme is led by a volunteer resident coordinator who liaises with the police and acts as a voice for the community.

The coordinator serves as a bridge between residents and local authorities, ensuring that community concerns are heard and addressed.
