Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
A Neighbourhood Watch Scheme is a partnership between
communities and the police aimed to prevent or reduce the
opportunities for crime and increase the likelihood of catching
criminals.
Schemes are likely to be organised and do things differently
from area to area. The police recognise this and so hold regular
meetings of watch scheme co-ordinators to share information.
Neighbourhood Watch is the largest voluntary crime prevention
group in the country with more than 10 million members. It started
in the UK in 1982 in Mollington in Cheshire where residents found
that since the start of the scheme the level of crime substantially
reduced.
