Watch Schemes
Watch schemes encourage communities to work together to protect themselves and their property, which in turn can help to reduce the fear of crime and improve the local environment.
West Mercia Police supports the activity of thousands of members of watch schemes. Each of our divisions has a watch administrator (see below) who can provide information about the various schemes as well as local contact details for anyone wishing to join.
You can find out more about how we work with Neighbourhood Watch by reading our Pledge.
