Happy first birthday Neighbourhood Matters!

Have you signed up to Neighbourhood Matters?

Friday 1 July is our first birthday and nearly 20,000 people are already signed up receiving the latest alerts, appeals and messages from their local police teams.

We are committed to engaging with our communities across Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin to increase trust and confidence and to help us protect people from harm.

If you sign up to Neighbourhood Matters, you decide who you want to hear from and the type of alerts you want to receive. You'll be getting information on exactly what’s happening in your area and what is being done about it. You'll also hear about positive police action, good news stories and be able to play an active part in helping us with our public appeals.

Our communities are active participants in helping to prevent and detect crime and anti-social behaviour and we know that by working together we can make a real difference.

Public safety, crime prevention and protection of the vulnerable cannot be accomplished by the police alone. It takes effective partnership working and strong community relationships. It is only by the police, our partners and the public working together that we can build resilient and safe communities, and both reduce and prevent crime.
