Preventing crime

Find out about the work we do to prevent crime in the borough.

Neighbourhood Watch

The Neighbourhood Watch Network:

  • is the largest crime prevention movement in England and Wales
  • has 2.3 million members with around 90,000 volunteers
  • brings neighbours together to create strong, friendly active communities

We provide a great service to Neighbourhood Watch members by:

  • supporting and developing existing schemes
  • attracting new members and schemes promoting Neighbourhood Watch in areas of high crime, deprivation or need

We want a society where neighbours come together to create safer, stronger, more inclusive and active communities. We encourage you to:

  • know your neighbours
  • be neighbourly
  • be active in your community

If this interests you and you want to join or set up Neighbourhood Watch in Southwark, email Mark Webb at mwebbmark1136@aol.co.uk.
