Neighbourhood Crime Prevention: A Joint Responsibility

The prevention of crime – particularly crime involving residential neighbourhoods is a responsibility that must be shared equally by Police Services and private citizens. The fact is, the impact on crime prevention by Police Services alone is minimal when compared with the power of private citizens working with Police Services and with each other.

Neighbourhood Watch is based on cooperation, and statistics prove that it works. When citizens take positive stops to secure their own property and neighbours learn how to report suspicious activity around their homes, break and enters and related offences decrease dramatically.
