Most crime is opportunist, committed on the
spur of the moment or when a car or house is
left unlocked. This means there is enormous
scope for reducing the chances of becoming a
victim of crime.
Everyone knows that the police are there to
fight crime, but they cannot succeed on
their own - they need support from the
public. This support can be given in the
effective way of forming a neighbourhood
Watch Scheme.
Neighbourhood Watch Schemes can:
Cut crime and the opportunities for crime.
Help and reassure those who live in fear of
crime.
Encourage neighbourliness and closer
communities.
There are other benefits to Neighbourhood
Watch schemes too. You will become familiar
with crime prevention ideas which will help
you to keep your home and belongings safe.
You may also get a premium discount from you
insurance company.
The Lancashire Neighbourhood Watch Forum
that includes all Co-ordinators and members
across the County has recently been formed.
The aim of this group is to provide
additional support for schemes and local
associations.
If you would like to set up a Neighbourhood
Watch Scheme in your area, Contact Crime
Prevention Officer At Your Local Police
Station
If you have information regarding suspicious
incidents ring your local police station or
in an emergency dial 999
If you have information on anyone involved
in crime or who you believe may be involved
in crime ring crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Your call is
free, you dont have to give your name and
you may receive a cash reward. |
