Neighbourhood Watch |

There are about 600 voluntary Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators in the High Wycombe district, who have spent years helping keep their neighbours safe – safe from prowlers, car thieves, burglars, rogue traders, bogus callers, fraudsters, scammers and the many dodgy dealers who prey on the vulnerable and unwary in their own homes. With national statistics indicating that up to 85% of crime is preventable, WDNHWA acts as a dedicated ‘middleman’ between the police and the locals, spreading simple yet effective strategies to reduce the opportunities for common crimes and anti-social behaviour, and also to reduce the fear of crime that may blight some neighbourhoods.
