Neighbourhood Watch (NW) is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention schemes ever. By joining or starting a group you can work with the police and your neighbours to combat and reduce crime in your community and make your neighbourhood a safer and better place to live, work and play.
NW is growing in popularity. Since 2007 the number of neighbourhood watches in Southampton has increased by 30%. Why not join the 2,000 households in the city who have who have already joined or started a NW scheme?

We will help you contact your neighbours to see if they are supportive of a scheme. We'll also support you to set up a meeting inviting all of the households in the area and a representative from the police. All you then need to do is nominate yourself or select someone else to act as the coordinator.
It’s as easy as that!
