Welcome to Neighbourhood Watch Peterborough
Neighbourhood Watch brings the community together for the purpose of Crime Prevention and Safer Streets.
Neighbourhood Watch brings the community together for the purpose of Crime Prevention and Safer Streets.
A number of neighbours in a large or small group keep in contact with each other, share information, keep a look out for suspicious behaviour and feedback what they have seen and heard to the police.
They are willing to report suspicious behaviour resulting in a safer neighbourhood, the risks of experiencing crime and anti-social behaviour are reduced.
They take action and are helpful when one of the group experiences crime or anti-social behaviour, they are good neighbours for each other, observant and willing participants in an atmosphere of community spirit.
Its success lies in the simple fact that knowing and communicating with your neighbours, simply being neighbourly provides the basics for a Watch. Add this to supporting and working with the Police can help solve and deter local crime, anti-social behaviour and improve the local environment.
It can remove the fear and feelings of powerlessness through the Watch solving these upsetting and annoying problems. The experience of being a victim of crime can be particularly distressing.
