Neighbourhood watch

  1. Service
  2. Environment and transport

Active neighbourhood watch reduces burglaries, vandalism and graffiti. Residents pay closer attention to their local area, and everyone benefits from this cooperation.

Would you like to set up a neighbourhood watch scheme?

Speak to a few neighbours and see if there is an interest in an active neighbourhood watch scheme. Experience shows that it is most effective to organise a neighbourhood watch in smaller areas, for example, on a single street or in a block of flats.

If you are interested, you can continue:

  1. Present the proposed neighbourhood watch with flyer.
  2. Collect signatures on a participation list.
  3. Hold a meeting with neighbours and choose a group leader.
  4. A group leader applies for the installation of a neighbourhood watch sign on a council road at Our pages. At least 70% residents of the house or street must have signed the participation list. 

The aim of neighbourhood watch is to make everyone more aware of the factors relating to burglaries. How to secure the home, car, garage, garden and other areas to reduce the risk of a break-in. VÍS website A checklist for neighbourhood watch can be seen.
