Mid Suffolk has one of the lowest crime rates in the Country... Lets keep it that way! 

The Aim of Neighbourhood Watch?

It is one of the most successful crime prevention initiatives ever, based on a simple idea and a central value shared by millions of people across the country.  Getting together with your neighbours to take action can cut local crime!

Watch Objectives

1. To prevent and reduce crime in our neighbourhoods.
2. To help provide reassurance to people in our communities.

Main Activities

1. To provide appropiate and up to date crime reduction advice.
2. To encourage members of our communities to be alert and watchful in looking after themselves and others.
3. To act as a channel of communication - passing on timely information from the police to the community and from the community to the police - to help prevent and detect crimes.
