Neighbourhood Watch is one of the most popular and successful crime prevention schemes and is built on the simple idea that by getting together with your neighbours, you can take positive action to help cut local crime.
Neighbourhood Watch schemes are community initiatives that are supported by the police but not owned or run by them. If you are interested in joining a Neighbourhood Watch scheme or setting one up in your area, you can contact the community co-ordinator at your local policing unit on (0116) 222 2222, or visit the
Leicestershire Police website or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
