Why Neighbourhood Support?
Ten reasons why Neighbourhood Support creates safer communities:
- Proactive Crime Prevention: Neighbourhood Support creates a heightened awareness of suspicious activity.
- Security in the knowledge that help is available at any time, for any reason.
- Protection. Every home in the group is protected, whether the family is home or not.
- Community Spirit is strengthened, empowering members to act as a group over local concerns.
- Communication: Provides a good channel of communication for Police and Civil Defence etc.
- Reduces the Sense of Isolation often felt by the elderly or those who live alone.
- Information: Members are kept informed of criminal activity, crime trends, and related information.
- Education on home and personal security, and contingency plans for emergencies.
- Vigilance: Provides a vigilant network protecting people and property from crime.
- Support: Provides an informal support network for group members.
