 Relating to a neighbourhood authority in crime prevention

1. Familiarizing yourself with neighbours can be a win-win situation. Offer yourself as a resource in case of emergencies or help needed on their end; some neighbors might reciprocate the offer. See if they’re comfortable sharing their needs.

Are there small children you should look out for? Do you live next to an older couple that stays home but sometimes needs help? Does your neighbour have indoor pets, and should you call if you ever see the pets outside?

2. Give correct information

If there is any questioning in your neighbourhood about crime or anything feel free to assist security agents by giving detailed and correct information to aid their investigation.

3. Report suspicious movement of people around your neighborhood: Offer yourself as a resource in case of emergencies or help needed on their end; some neighbours might reciprocate the offer. See if they’re comfortable sharing their needs.

4. Hire a security service

A private security service can do what local police often can’t: they can patrol your neighbourhood more frequently and respond quickly to any suspicious activity, enhancing your property safety. If your community can fundraise together, you may be able to secure a reliable security service.
