Neighbourhood Watch Latest News

   Back to: Home

Neighbourhood Watch is the largest voluntary organisation in the UK.  It is run by volunteers in the community and is the best known and most effective example of the police and community working in partnership to reduce crime, build safer communities and improve quality of life.  Neighbourhood Watch is one of the biggest and most successful crime prevention initiatives ever undertaken.

Neighbourhood Watch is encouraging all residents to review the security of their homes, including door locks, window locks, garage and shed doors, as well as keeping cars locked and their keys out of easy reach.  Additionally, please keep an extra look out for any elderly or vulnerable residents who may be targets for distraction burglars or bogus callers.  To contact your local Thames Valley Police Crime Reduction Advisor who can organise a free crime reduction survey,  please call 08458 505 505.

Police Surgeries

PCSO surgeries are held regularly outside the corner shop in Lower Shiplake. Dates of forthcoming surgeries are posted on notice boards and on the Thames Valley Police Neighbourhood web site.
