Suffolk Neighbourhood Watch is the scheme to make our neighbourhoods more secure and our communities feel safer.


The main objectives of Neighbourhood watch are:

1.To prevent and reduce crime in our neighbourhoods.

2. To help provide reassurance to people in our communities.

3. To provide appropriate and up-to-date crime reduction advice.

4. To encourage members of our communities to be alert and watchful in looking after themselves and others.

5. To act as a channel of communication - passing on timely information from the police to the community and from the community to the police - to help prevent and detect crimes.
