CO·ORDINATORS DIRECTORY
Directory of useful numbers
This is a directory of contacts and number you may find useful in your role as Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinator. It is designed so that you can refer any relevant problems or issues within your watch group to the correct individual, and will hopefully make you more aware of the support open to you in your role.
Although the primary role of Neighbourhood Watch is to take part in crime prevention, it is in essence a community spirited organisation. With this in mind this directory has been produced so that you can refer any problem on you may be asked to deal with in your role when you feel professional intervention is required. As a potential first port of call when someone in your community needs advice, it is important that you have this information.
Obviously we hope you do not need to use these numbers frequently, but hope you find this directory useful.
