If you have answered yes to any of these, #StreetWatch might be for you.

Street Watch, it is about going for a walk with your neighbours, getting to know people in the area and building up a sense of community spirit.

We ask for a minimum of 2 hours a month but you can do as much as you like.
The whole point of Street Watch is about being that visible presence to DETER crime and anti-social behaviour, NOT deal with it that’s our job. If you see something that needs to be dealt with, call us.

All members are vetted and trained. The training is very simple and just involves making sure that people are aware of what we are asking of them, this takes approximately 1 hour. After training we register all members on a police forum which enables you to communicate with us.

We will go out with you on your first two walks to check you are confident and know what you are doing and then you can go out independently. A Police Officer or Police Community Support Officer will do monthly patrol’s with you too. There must be two people on each walk for safety and you are given a high viz jacket with Street Watch on it so people know you are a part of an organised group. After that you organise your own walks, go where you want to and for how long you want.

At the training people usually swap phone numbers and set up group chats such as WhatsApp to organise the walks and keep in contact, all very simple and low key, you can even walk your dog at the same time if you have one.

It really is up to the group themselves how much or little they do, Street Watch is for the community, by the community.
