Home Department written question – answered at on 27 October 2005.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps are being taken to encourage the formation of neighbourhood watches in local communities in Kent.
The Home Office recognises the valuable contribution that neighbourhood watch and other watch volunteers make in the fight against crime. We encourage the formation of neighbourhood watch schemes throughout England and Wales by providing advice on how to set up and maintain a scheme and how to obtain funding. We also provide a free training package for neighbourhood watch co-ordinators and other advice and support as required, such as this year's national conference and officials' attendance at other conferences where possible.
