Becoming a member of NW means you are part of a nationwide initiative to help your community stay how you want it to be - safe, free from crime and somewhere you can enjoy a good quality of life.

A Neighbourhood Watch member is an important part of Neighbourhood Watch. You are the eyes and ears for your street, passing information either to your street co-ordinator or direct to the police. This information is very helpful as it is part of the bigger picture.

With your help we can put the jigsaw of crime together. Each piece of information you pass either direct to us or via an area co-ordinator could be the missing piece of the puzzle. That is why we need to know what you know.

You are the best people to understand your area, you are the ones who will know who is usually around, who is away, who is having windows cleaned, work done to their property, whose car is missing, which tradesmen usually come to your street, and so on.

You are the people who will notice things that are out of the ordinary in your road.

Hampshire Constabulary and Neighbourhood Watch have worked in partnership for a long time and we continue to value your input. In order to work effectively together we would like to offer some advice. The PANWA site gives you examples of the kind of information the Police  need, the telephone numbers to call and what to say when you do call.

Please help us to help your community by spending a little time reading and digesting the information and advice on this site. If everyone is aware of the kind of information we need it will go a long way to ensuring your community stays how you would like it to.
