Neighbourhood Watch, Block Watch,Crime Watch - whatever the name, is one of the most effective ways to prevent crime and reduce fear. Neighbourhood Watch fights the isolation that crime both creates and feeds upon. It forges bonds among area residents, helps reduce burglaries and robberies, and improves relations between the police and the communities they serve.
