Neighbourhood Watch in Heysham
What we do and how we do it
Neighbourhood watch exists to:
Cut crime and the opportunities for crime and anti-social behaviour.
Provide reassurance to local residents and reduce the fear of crime and
anti-social behaviour.
Encourage neighbourliness and closer communities.
Improve the quality of life for local residents and tenants.
We can do this by:
Being a community based organisation, involving residents and tenants who are working together.
Becoming involved in community solving, agreeing regularly which problems to target and what actions to take - this can be achieved by attending local PACT neighbourhood policing meetings.
Becoming involved in crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour initiatives.
Disseminating good practice procedures.
Taking part in organised training programmes, crime prevention presentations and crime reducing initiatives.
Supporting community safety projects and addressing quality of life issues.
It is a fact - the police alone cannot prevent crime. However by partnership working between the community, police and statutory agencies a significant difference can be made in reducing crime and the perceived fear of crime.
Together we can make Heysham a good place to work, reside and play.
