Introduction:
Since inception our Neighbourhood watch has been dynamic within the communitiy. Neighbours are the real "Force" and focus
for crime fighting: it is our homes and our streets. The bottom line is that government policies and police strategies and
policing structures may come and go, and statutory bodies have their own priorities and targets, and seldom realistically
take us into account.
But this website is designed to serve US: the householder, the resident, the victim, the voter, the tax payer, the
concerned parent, the public spirited citizen.
We have been proactive in reporting crimes, suspicious incidents and behaviour and anti-sccial behaviour. Also untaxed
veicles. Intelligenc is all they say: without the help of the ordinary resident like you and me the police would find
almost impossible to solve any crime. So as regards crime fighting WE are the most important people.
Through our work as an NHW and that of this website have been instrumental in preventing various crimes and reducing
crime overall.
Furthernore an equally important element to neighbourhood crime-fighting is that of rebuuilding and strengthening
communities, community spirit and good neighbourliness. Where people work together, help each other and are ever vigilant
the small criminal element has a much harder job!
All neighbours (Watch Members) are vigilant and observant in reporting all that they see and hear and support each other.
This is reinfced by a newsletter which goes out to all members as well as to other Watch Schemes and Residents Associations
in south and east Reading.
A Neighbourhod Watch brings the community together.
