Neighbourhood Watch in our Parish is a voluntary membership system aimed at helping all within our community, whether private individuals or businesses, feel more secure. It does this by encouraging everyone to take an informed interest in what is going on around them. In essence this means ‘watching each others’ backs’. The scheme produces regular updates on policing issues and security, aimed to make people aware of local crime and to help reduce its incidence and impact.
You can sign up yourself online, to receive official Neighbourhood Alert messages directly via email. These alerts cover a wide range of general and more specific concerns. There are often special offers of Police-approved security products for homes or business premises, sometimes offered free or at greatly reduced prices. An example is the Selecta DNA marking system for valuables.
The local NW coordinator is Crispian Beattie. He reads all of the various alert messages and Police bulletins and passes on periodic email updates to those who want them, summarising issues or trends that may be of interest. He also keeps in close touch with the local Wiltshire Police representatives. Issues that may concern the Parish Council or other voluntary bodies are referred to them, as appropriate. A telephone call to 999 for genuine emergencies and to 101 for other less urgent issues related to law and order remains the most prompt and efficient means of contacting the Emergency Services.
