The Neighbourhood Watch scheme in place has four main objectives
1.To Prevent
Crime by improving security, increasing vigilance
and protecting the most vulnerable members of the
community by encouraging a caring community spirit.
2. To help with the detection of criminals by
promoting effective communication.
3. To reduce the undue fear of crimeby providing
accurate information about risks, supporting
victims, promoting a sense of security and a caring
community.
4. To improve Police – Community relations and
liaison by fostering regular contact.
Neighbourhood Watch schemes play a vital part in preventing crime, and statistics show that you are less likely to be burgled if you belong to an active Home Watch scheme. You may also receive a reduction in the cost of your house insurance.
By joining your local Neighbourhood Watch scheme you
can feel more secure knowing that you and your
neighbours are keeping an eye on each other’s property.
Getting together with your neighbours can prevent crime
and well-run schemes have a big impact on reducing the
opportunities for crime.
Home Watch can play a big part in reassuring those who
live in fear of crime.
Home Watch can rekindle community spirit and is a great
way to get to know your neighbours.
As the scheme attracts more members, a request for NHW signs will be submitted to Fareham Council. The scheme coordinator will also seek a deputy as per the guidelines set out for NHW schemes. If you are interested please use the social media links below to get in touch.
