Help and Advice

 A core purpose of Neighbourhood Watch is to help neighbours to be safe and to feel safe by encouraging them to take crime prevention measures. Coordinators regularly distribute information received via the Cheshire Police Alert system about crime trends and the methods used by criminals to raise awareness of local criminal activities, together with crime prevention advice from Cheshire Police. The visibility of Neighbourhood Watch street signs and window stickers in properties belonging to Neighbourhood Watch scheme members are also important deterrents to criminals in the vicinity who may seek less vigilant targets.
