Neighbourhood Watch is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention schemes ever. It is based on simple ideas of getting together with your neighbours to reduce local crime and disorder in the bid to make your neighbourhood a safe and better place to live, work and play.
Our local Milton Keynes Neighbourhood Watch association website www.mkneighbourhoodwatch.org is worth taking a look at and explains more about Neighbourhood Watch in Milton Keynes.
Alternatively, take a look at the www.mynhw.co.uk website, which is recognised by the Home Office and Association of Chief Police Officers as the official website for all registered Neighbourhood Watch & Home Watch members across England & Wales . It also has links to the Home Office Crime Prevention site.
In Loughton, we would like to increase the number of schemes we have, therefore if you are interested in setting up a scheme in your street, or would like further advice or to check whether your scheme is still current, please call Helen Sharratt in the Neighbourhood Watch office on 01908 686169.
The Neighbourhood Watch office also has many security and information leaflets, and security items for sale including safe cans and personal alarms/torch at very reasonable prices.
