Neighbourhood Watch is an incorporated not-for-profit encouraging communication and cooperation between neighbours to reduce opportunistic crime and make neighbourhoods safer. The program aims to prevent crime by encouraging neighbours to recognise and report suspicious activity to police, and to make their homes less inviting for opportunistic offenders.
How to be part of Neighbourhood Watch
Your neighbours will be first to notice a suspicious person at your door. Police on patrol may not recognise a stranger in your yard, but your neighbour will. By knowing your neighbours you will recognise someone or something that is suspicious.
