Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
Neighbourhood Watch is a partnership between An Garda Siochana and the public. It is a self-help crime prevention and community safety programme for urban areas.
Every member of a community, young or old, can help to improve the quality of life for the community by keeping a look out for their neighbours and reporting suspicious activities to the Gardai.
It reduces opportunities for crime by improving personal and home security and fostering a community spirit where neighbours look out for each other.
Neighbourhood Watch also helps to support people who are more vulnerable.
Every Neighbourhood Watch Scheme has a Liaison Garda/Community Garda to make sure there is a formal link with the local Garda station.
The Liaison Garda/Community Garda has access to specialist support staff and sections to make sure that every community gets the crime prevention advice and measures they need.
An Garda Siochana recognises the important help it gets from the public to reduce and prevent crime.
If you are interested in setting up a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in your area or wish to learn more on how to set one up, contact your local Garda station or Community Garda, or visit www.Garda.ie
