How to join
Home Watch?
The first step is to send your contact details to the Home Watch office via the Contact button on the Home page.
If there is an existing scheme in your vicinity, your details will be sent to your Road Contact, who will get in touch with you and hopefully sign you up as a Home Watch member.
If there is no scheme in place, the Co-ordinator for your Beat Area will contact you. The best solution, for you and for the community, is that you start a Home Watch scheme by enrolling 10 – 15 neighbours and acting as a ROAD CONTACT. You will get to know your neighbours better and will be protecting your community. This is not a major time–consuming role, although it is crucial to the success of Home Watch, and you will be supported by the Officers and committee of the Home Watch Association.
