Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
Local Neighbourhood Watch Schemes enable you and your neighbours to come together to have a say in the issues which matter to you in your community.

We have been committed to supporting Neighbourhood Watch throughout our force since its introduction in 1982.
What are the benefits of Neighbourhood Watch?
There are benefits to joining a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme:
- It shows that members of a community are looking out for each other
- It keeps you up-to-date with what is going on in your area – known as Community Alerts.
- It can help to prevent and tackle crime in your community
- It may save you money on your home insurance
