The campaign team above were in the White Rose Centre today looking for new Neighbourhood Watch volunteers. In the foreground (left) is PC Alyn Smith who was a moving force behind the Child Safe Zone scheme mentioned in this blog last week. Police help to set up a Neighbourhood Watch group in the first place; thereafter it is run by a local resident known as a ‘co-ordinator’ to whom other residents can feed information.
Neighbourhood Watch is an effective way of reducing crime and making the community safer, and it has the backing of the Home Office. There’s a lot of support available for groups and co-ordinators. You can find out more about the scheme by popping into Rhyl Police Station in Wellington Road (opposite town hall) or phoning Denbighshire Neighbourhood Watch on (01745) 539208.
