Neighbourhood Watch is a program aimed at reducing crime in the community. It involves getting to know one’s neighbours and introducing them to the concept of Neighbourhood Watch – that is, good neighbours working together, alert to the potential of crime and willing to look out for one another’s interests.
Neighbours working together through Neighbourhood Watch can combat crime in their area the most effective way – before it starts. Through the active participation of citizens in crime prevention, Neighbourhood Watch provides a means of reducing the opportunity for crime to occur.
Neighbourhood Watch groups have been active in the Municipality of Chatham-Kent for many years. To learn more about groups in your area or to become involved, please click http://www.ckpolice.com/smarts_nwatch.asp
