Objectives

To prevent crime by improving security, increasing vigilance, creating and maintaining a
caring community and reducing opportunities for crime by increasing crime prevention
awareness.

To reduce undue fear of crime by providing accurate information about risks and by
promoting a sense of security and community spirit, particularly amongst the more vunerable
members of the community.

To assist the Police in detecting crime by promoting effective communication and the prompt
reporting of suspicious and criminal activity.

To improve Police/Community liaison by providing effective communications through
systems such as the Neighbourhood Watch Ringmaster system, which warns Co-ordinators of
local crime trends which they can disseminate to their scheme members, and by members
informing the Police of incidents when they occur.

To work in close co-operation with other Neighbourhood Watches, especially our colleagues in
The North Aldridge Neighbourhood Watch.
