Neighbourhood Watch Explained
Manned by a full time coordinator to promote Neighbourhood Safety
and Neighbourhood Watch in Dacorum and provide a link between
the Police and Neighbourhood Watches.
Neighbours are encouraged to get together and form a watch to
help prevent crime in their local community.
Neighbourhood Watch Support provides information about Neighbourhood
Watch, crime prevention and safer communities. They have a supply
of leaflets and videos.
Quarterly meetings are held by the Hemel Hempstead Crime Prevention
Panel for Watch Co-ordinators at Carey Baptist Church, Marlowes,
Hemel Hempstead.
Publications: Watchlink - Neighbourhood Watch twice yearly newsletter.
Over 20,000 households in Dacorum are covered by
Neighbourhood Watch schemes with over 740 watches.
Most of the big insurance companies now offer a
discount of up to 15% on contents insurance premiums for scheme
members.
If you want to form a scheme, the first step is
to talk to a few neighbours. When you feel there is enough interest
contact Andy Reynolds, the Neighbourhood Watch administrator at
Hemel Hempstead police station on 01442 271020 or email him on
andy.REYNOLDS@Herts.pnn.police.uk.
