Watch Report
Neighbourhood Watch is a program aimed at reducing crime in the community. It involves getting to know one's neighbours and introducing them to the concept of Neighbourhood Watch - that is, good neighbours working together, alert to the potential of crime and willing to look out for one another's interests. Neighbours working together through Neighbourhood Watch can combat crime in their area the most effective way - before it starts. Through the active participation of citizens in crime prevention. Neighbourhood Watch provides a means of reducing the opportunity for crime to occur. Citizens are taught how to make their homes less inviting as a target for thieves; how to participate in Operation Identification, making their personal property less desirable to burglars; and, how to be alert to suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods. Very
few people are in a position to protect their homes and property
all of the time. Vacation, business and shopping trips, or even
an evening out will leave homes unattended and vulnerable to theft.
The Neighbourhood Watch program will provide a sense of security
for individuals or families who leave their homes for any length
of time. The program will also help to co-ordinate the efforts of
the police and the community in tracking down criminals. Strong
community involvement is encouraged because neighbour unity can
deter crime. Neighbours joined together do help correct situations
that threaten their peace and safety. Crime Stats for Whitmore Park
