Neighbourhood
Watch schemes are community initiatives that are supported
by the police but not owned or run by them. Individual
schemes have different characteristics, depending on
the area in which they are situated and their objectives.
Leicestershire Constabulary supports schemes that are
organised and run in a non-discriminatory manner at
local, area and county level.
Neighbourhood
Watch works by developing close liaison between households
in a neighbourhood and the local police. It aims to
help people protect themselves and their properties
and to reduce the fear of crime by means of improved
home security, greater vigilance, accurate reporting
of suspicious incidents to the police and by fostering
a community spirit.
