Country watch

[toprotter]

Not been on site for a while and after speaking with

Jonny Burch I thought I would post on here to tell you about

Country Watch. It's been set up for rural crimes by different police forces

You join for free and get signs as deterrents as well as advice on security etc

But the clincher for me was texts sent to your mobile listing car regs / colour

of vehicles acting suspiciously inc number of occupants and area. As well as info

On crimes carried out. If you see anything suspicious you phone a number and it all gets linked to other members.

Maybe it would be useful. They do it in Surrey Hampshire but not sure where else. Just put in country watch in google.

From my own experience the creation of Country Watch as made a fast improvement for getting rural crime into the spotlight and action taken.

If everyone it concerns on here joins at least it would

Be more eyes and ears

I only came across it at a police stand at a Wood fair and it made sense to me.

So the more that joined the better

Agreed on that. One of the big problems is people seeing something suspicious and not reporting it at the time they saw it. Anything that raises awareness is a good thing.
