177 When it is functioning it fundraises.178 I pay for all photocopying etc myself179 Started recently but still did not get anything from Neighborurhood / Home Watch scheme?180 We have a sponsorship arrangementDon't have any specific resources as far as I'm aware.

From time to time, when funds are surplus torequirements, donations are made to e.g CrimeStoppers, Farm Watch, a local centre for205 young people etc.I don't! I live in a street mainly populated by well-to-do young professionals in rented flats,who are in fact not interested in taking part. Only the owner/occupiers are actively involved inthe scheme, which is run under a 'previous' name because a colleague and I had started the206 group before getting involved in NHW.207 Self-funded208 The Mayor's office for policing and crime209 None210 Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator211 The district scheme is sponsored212 own contributions toward paper, etc.213 I am self funding.

I then received letters from the police and sent those out to. I have also e mailed thosewho have joined to keep in touch. Have e mailed them all to say I will be organizing a gettogether for us all to meet in our local village pub..........hopefully, I will then have the nw stickers30 to give out.

In the last several years, for the on set of the seasonal 'darker nights' period, I attempt to gather astock of donated 'bicycle lights'/ locks (recently from LIDLS).

Even if this was just a template containing the regional details and topics of concernthat I could add to/amend with anything specific to our scheme. 4 times a year would begreat.and I would be happy to print it for those members without email.I'd like pre-assembled 'Welcome Packs' that contains stuff that I can give to new neighbours5 shortly after they move in when I do a Neighbourhood Watch introduction in their house.6 Easy access to obtain these leaflets7 bestoke websitePaper leaflets relating to more local events - very few of my 'customers' have e-mail or a8 computer.9 Some funding to pay for paper, printing ink, etc10 Enough for the whole street not a quarter of itIt would be good to have these paper items, most of us in my area are getting older, and these11 window stickers etc may be quite helpful12 Local gp's surgery ect,shops as in our local area to be used more.13 Anything that is helpful and free.14 would appreciate more support from National re leaflets15Would like some info earlier e.g Halloween Posters as I could pass them on to vulnerablemembers of other groups e.g. my WI ladies41

16172 large signs for entrance to estate, 150 houses. There are 2 pillars at entrance, just right forthese.Camera's - Plus I emailed Tower Insurance for window stickers as suggested no response?Complketley useless?I have ticked this box because it is very expensive in Poole to erect metal signs on lamp posts.18 Only the Local Authority can do it and charge over £60 per sign19 Association from Chair of District, other Watch scheme members, regular meetings20A manner of reimbursement of some kind for my computer ink and paper use, phone calls andpatrolling the area in the car after a call out. I am a pensioner, have 600 houses in my group andprepare and deliver regular updates to every single houseMore street signs as costs limit what we can have - these are an excellent deterrent and help us21 feel safer.22 When I require any resource I ask my area coorganiser.2324A few of these are getting a bit low on stock and are used at Parish meetings in the spring or onrequest.Really the main source required is assistance with running the scheme. In other words peoplestime.The current Ourwatch brochure is a ridiculously expensive way of producing a page and a halfof text (9 pages of arguably pointless photographs in full colour!). Some cost effective use of25 resources like this should enable others to be produced.26 Funding for street meetings, hall hire etcThis answer is not really for more but up to date material – just the handbook would be sufficient27 rather than lots of individual leaflets28 a more visible Police presenceWould like our street signs replaced as they are damaged also dog fouling noticed broken29 completely. Whom do I approach?30 Newsletters31 We need some new stickers and street signs as the ones we have are getting rather old.Paper, ink for printing news letters that are no longer provided, and for printing letters inviting32 new members.33 at least double the size, long front gardens in some cases!.34 more funds35 Help from someone to get the Neighbourhood Scheme going.36 info re reduction of home imsurance3738new group formed August this year. Have tried to obtain resources from NHW and local councilbut no funding?A lot of crime reduction/NHW literature seems to have to be downloaded from the internetnowadys which is costly to print off.Time to do anything - I do feel that far too much pressure is being put on myself as a coordinator;emails are long winded from Neighbourhood Watch.

As63 and when they are built we would require window stickwers and perhaps new street signs.64 More specific newsletters relating to our area from NHW or Police (as we used to get).65 Digital resources for use on websites, facebook and so on.66 We must redirect much of NW money to more urgent projects like reducing our debts67 Marking materialsWe can no longer afford to "Print" leaflets etc68 Online resources are fine if the group can afford to print off (up to 500) individualised leaflets etc69 Local PCSO supportArrgts for window stickers are fine and I have a stock ex Police of No Cold Callers with Streetsigns available to buy (from me for Divisional area of Local Force, ditto SmartWater). BUT it isnow almost impossible to put together a 'pack' for a new member as the original Home OfficeLeaflets are much too expensive to print (Multi Colour etc) Need reintroduction of something likethe old Home Office 'advice' pack possibly as well designed A4 double fold 'leaflet' suitable for70 'cheap' mono printing/photocopying at home.71 See above72 Not sure full or what would be useful (some of the above would be)73 Items to make older people feel safe.74 If I am told about them and can choose them.

Even though retiredI am still very busy and only want to read about what is relevant to my area.The latest street signs are weak. Two of mine have split in two vertically leaving only half thesign.plain paper - not all my neighbours have email and I need to keep everyone up-to-date oncrime/behaviour developments.I am happy to subsidise the Newsletter but will find it difficult to find a successor when I have to95 give up.

164 home watch week165 big lunch166 NHW Week.167Local campaigns are scheduled to fit with National NW Week but so far we have notbenefitted from the link to any extent because the national media campaign has had nolocal impact. They are in any event linked with local policing priorities not to nationalonesQuestion 10If you answered 'No' to question 9, please tell us why you don't participate innational-level campaigns.Other (please specify):It is very difficult to get my group together at the same time or to participate. They are happy1 being in NHW, but to participate in other events it is difficult.2 We are a very small scheme3I have passed on information about the initiative to log the serial numbers of important items(laptops, phones etc.) and left it to members to go to the police van when it's convenient forthem.the scheme has only 17 households as members (out of a total of 24 houses) and fortunately4 we have very little trouble in our paticular road.5 Some are relelvant and others not.67My Residents are generally luke warm with regard to NHW. About 45% of them like to be keptinformed from all NHW sources and have provided e-mail addresses to allow me to do this. Theothers I only leaflet when there is an important news bulletin, which I have to fund personally,hence I am very selective on what I circulate. There has been little interest from members toattend meetings or events or even to provide an e-mail address. The residents who are not onmy e-mail list may well keep abrest by logging into the various websites, I have no way ofknowing.There are only 8 houses in our Watch and we feel we do not need to parcipitate in largerschemes, we look after each other.As I've said before, NHW only really works bottom-upwith a really local police sergeant (town) believing in it and having officers available to attend8 meetings and being seen policing on the streets.9 Up to a point all these reasons apply - and nearly everyone in this road is very busy anyway.10 I can't seem to get my residents interested to perticipate11 Too new.12 There is not the interest, until something happens!Open our garden for ngs so that is a full time occupation so tend not to be excessive in my13 involvement with nhw14 We have only just begun our group so still working out what to do in our area15 Lack of information and support from partners16 I don't know enough about it and have no time - and don't actually see a need for more activity.17 Not enough 'human resources'18 not long been running & expanding areas19 If they were relevant to my area I would try to participate in them20 I only pass info onto 2 other people and dont know of any others that want to join or take part.50

21 Many of my members are elderly, some of these events are during the day and I work2223The community is of an elderly nature and as such are fine looking after themselves and theirneighbours, but outside of that they are not prepared to grt involved.This is the only place on the questionnaire where I am able to put a complaint - down here noneof us have been told just who is standing for the position of Police Commissioner in nextmonths elections. How can the general public make a fair choice if no-one knows who thecandidates are, or what they are offering?I keep up to date personally and try to get as much information as possable and pass what i get24 on to the only other coordinator who is interestered25 These are organised by the local Residents' Association26 Not upto NHW schemes at street level.27 this is a relatively new scheme and I haven't been aware of national schemes since it started28 Health problems29 Please clarify the question.It is a NEIGHBOURHOOD Watch Scheme, with a local emphasis by definition. National or30 regional schemes are best pursued using national or regional media.31 My neighbours cannot be motivated!32 We would be happy to support but scheme members do not feel the same.They are a bad idea - designed to create jobs for people who are naturally busy-bodies - the33 money would better be not spent at all- lowering taxes - or spent on almost anything else.34 very little interest shown by the residents of our scheme.35 There is no local interest.36 More crime is often a local issue,than national.37 We circulate the information and leave it up to individual members if they wish to participate38 National level not effective39Difficult as most people find there is a lot of apathy and everyone is happy to let others do thework. We do have a good community here and all look out for each other. We do not want abusy active group. if people wanted this they would let me know.We only have a small road and it can be difficult getting neighbours to become involved as40 most of them work.41 We have only recently launched our scheme; our first meeting was in July.Interest in NW schemes is desultry on my patch e.g. Out of 40 houses only 13 are signed on. Ihave re-advertised with no response!.Secondly: constant redistribution of info provided could become a full time job and I have other42 interests.43 Just joined so time will tell, and when more schemes/ groups in this large estate, north HullNHW has lost the NH, we are now bombarded with national issues. Unless NHW has taken44 over your life national events, news etc are not a lot of interest.45 I am getting too old to do any more and would prefer someone else to take it on.46 Members are happy with one organised social event each year (i.e. street party) at present.Our village Scheme is too small (14 homes) to relate to national campaigns. We do things47 more locally.48 Have been a co-ordinator for less than a year, so maybe I haven't heard of them yet.49 We organise events and projects when the need or a problem arises in the area.50 enough nhw details already availableI have no support from the Chair of the Distrct Scheme or Area Coordinator. I have noinformation about who the other members of the scheme are which I belong to so I can support51 the campaigns.52 Other members do not make any real effort to do anything.53 Scheme is so new, so I haven't any information yet on these events. Keen to get more involved.51

54 I am not the Coordinator.55 I work Full time, and have other commitments56 don,t know57 Sometimes not relevant in my area58 I used to but stopped when I reached 70 years of age.59 we do them but not under any centrally driven banner or organisationthere is general apathy and while no crime happens in our area/street people seem to be60 preoccupied with their own private lives.61 The locals are not interested.I do not have the necessary interest or support from members. However , working on this and62 may be able to make progress in time.63 Some residents not interested64 people are not interested65 Any information received is forwarded to the Watch Members.Most of the Derby and South Debyshire Neighbourhood watch elected members are being66 ignored by DNWAT and we have no office access. .67 Very few householders want an active involvement68 all relevant information passed out by weekly newsletter.69 A combination of the above.70 Certain amount of apathy in my areado not understand the question as I do not particularly ever being asked to participate in71 anything national72 participation is organised by a borough level NHW Executive committee. which we support73 Most of our members are over 75.74 There is little interest in getting involved and some are too frightened of reprisals to speak out75 We are a newer small group and not really been made aware of these other campaigns76 See 9 above77 I do have time and interest but do not wish to interfere or 'overdo' it.78 see Q479 Not exposed to any issues that make if worthwhile attendingWe are lucky enough to live in a low crime area - this produces a certain level of apathy from80 local members of the scheme in respect of wider issues.81 not sure locals are interested !82 We are a new Watch but will participate next year83 I am not the local scheme co-ordinator84 New group - only just formed. still finding our feet and members enthusiasm!85 SELF EMPLOYED, SO V BUSY86 Lack of interest by other members87 Only just starting the scheme so not had chance yet and don't know if I willNeed to get scheme members, have 4 registered who regularly have contact with but estatehas 175 properties with a diverse mix of tenant/private landlords/owners, arrange meetings butnon attendence, have tried to engage in conversations but they are not interested until88 something goes wrong.89 members aren't very interested90 new scheme91 Not really sure why we don't92 Not sure what we are talking about here as I try and involve us in everything.93Residents in my small area are either elderly or work and lack interets or time to participate.Also we live in a pretty crime free area.52

NHW is a low priority item in peoples lives for several years we Organised an AGM after fouryears the attendance shrunk so much that we ended up inviting members to sit in on the NHW94 Coordinators Committee AGM.95 cannot remember if I received any invites...96 The road I live on is mainly occupied with tennants who are not interested .97 Apathy from the community.My nhw members show no interest in the scheme at all, most don't even want the crime info98 etc.99 Very small villageWe use other local events to share amd promote campaigns - meet the neighbours; coffee100 mornings; AGM101 I work fulltime and don't want to take on any additional commitments102 I was once informed about a national campaign on the actual day!103 My wife has Alzheimers disease104 Motivation & interest has seriously waned.105 There is no interest from residents106 most are to old to go to ant meeting or go out at night107 New scheme108 most of my members are way or out with family.109 Current scheme very new awaits supplies to co-ordiantor110Since I started the scheme in 1995 I'm now age 73 veru few neighbours are have or haveenough time to be actively involved in the scheme. Its now difficult although I still beleive inNeighbourhood Watch to be active in the the scheme.111112The commuications between the local NHW and me as a co-ordinator are virtually non existant.Such [minimal] contact and activity that does exist is entirely at my instignation. Unfortunatelytherefore no practical or meaningful support is given, exists or is effectively recriprocated. Sadlyit seems the organisation is run for the benefit of it's committee members; and it suffers from aseriously myopic, introverted and "can't do" attitude and culture which is clearly demonstratedby the lack of interest in the NHW organisation. It has passed its "sell by" date and needs acomplete overhall/re-launch/re-structure/community involvement etc. etc.Not least of all byinvolving younger members of society and by injecting a "can do" attitude!Not really sure if people in our street are interested. Happy enough to read emails, but don'tthink they would actually want to do anythingI think people are just satisfied and reassured enough with the fact that they are part of a NHW113 Scheme and don't really want to get any further involved (ie too many other things going on)114 I work full-time with family so really just information exchange at the moment115116Our members only want to know what"s totally relevant to their area and not interested in widerNeighbourhood WatchIts Hard enough with Lack of interest with many members. I have just after Five years just had aVolunteer to be my Assistant Good News.We tie in with several other local events throughout the year. We have an annuallitterpick/soup lunch in February which works well in our very rural area: no leaves on trees, not117 yet working in gardens/away on holiday etc - so we get the volunteers and can see the rubbish.118 It is the responsibility of our leadcoopdinator119 i pass the information to the group and individuals have a choice to attend/engage or not120 So far, it hasn't worked out, but might do so in future121 We have an elderly membership who are limited in what they can do122 Too old and infirm to take a more active role.53

123 we are a very small group of six in a lane124 Not sure what is available and if it applies125I recieve and forward emails on an adhoc basis and have no formal agreement in place to fullyparticipate in anything further.I do inform members via a newsletter of relevant events that are happening nationally like126 Police open days and the NHW AGM dates.127 I am too old to do any extra work.The people in my street do not seem interested. I have tried to organize meetings and social128 events but nobody comes to support them.129 I find time difficult but I do liase with local churches outside my local patch.130 I'm not allowed131 Sadly there is a degree of apathy, reluctance etc. for elderly members to get involved etc.132I do what I can, when I can - not always available for the promotional events but promote asand when throughout the rest of the year anyway.i have had a stroke. but i still keep in touch with all my members. and look after peoples homes133 when they are away134 did not realyl think my responsibility/ not really inolved that much135We only launched our scheme in March this year. Once we are properly established the eventsdescribed seem very relevant to ongoing growth and development.I have health "issues" which limit my activity to local events. I don't think my members are very136 interested in issues outside their local area.137 Old age and poor health138 I run a light touch scheme by e-mail139140We used to, but NHW members are not interested in helping the Committee organise an event,so it doesn't happen as Committee all getting older.I have just take over the role of Co-ordinator so at the moment I'm just feeling my way, alsoexploring other associated websites to get and pass on information.I feel that there are insufficient advantages compared to the effort required to organise and/or141 participate.142 Residents aren't interested143 we're new & haven't got organized yet144Campaign specific resources are sometimes not sufficiently targeted, too long / wordy and notable to be made specific.Our NHWS needs are highly specific and not often fully, or even broadly, covered by the"parameters" (sorry to mis-use a scientic term) of national schemes. Our Th.V. Police are145 extremely good and we alert our neighbours.146 I don't think the members of the scheme in my area would be particularly interestedSmall number of members, many of whom aren't really interested in being "active" and happy147 to just be kept in the picture about things by me.148 New watch scheme149 Also not very relevant to my scheme members.Since our Neighbourhood Watch organiser was removed, information is received via email and150 is no longer personal to us. I haven't seen anything relevant to our little village. We miss him.151 PEOPLE ARE NOT INTERESTEDTime and money (Other commitments are much more important to our residents .....scrutinising152 housing staff etc..services are hopeless round here.153 Need to know about them to be able to supportI've tried to engage neighbours with basic local info but they really don't want to know so I don't154 pursue national campaigns.155 Most members 70 plus years and have little interest in such events156 Scheme co-ordinator left but never arranged meetings or contacted other owners54

157 these was a lack of support form the local/regional NW158 not able to participate at the moment suffering after cancer.159Its hard enough to get local people to do anything!! My belief is that the expression "I don't wantto get involved" is over used and just about sums up why we have problems in the first place.It depends on the issues.160 Sometimes people get fed up or blase` with continual scare tactics.161 Have only just set up a watch in my area and was not aware of any such campaigns162 Limited interest from members163 I have only been a co-ordinator for 2 months164165All the residents in my road (120 houses) are already active members and I and mycoordinators feel we are already operating very effectively. Crime has dropped to practicallynil.Neighbours probably feel fairly safe here. They're busy doing other things and none haveshown much interest in Neighbourhood Watch. I've been ill and it's not top of my priority list.Vale of Clwyd is a very large rural area and it contains a high166 OAPs.167 Chronic illness.168 I know nothing of these campaignsWe were very active but found that we were doing all the work and the residents would not take169 part in any thing170 Not enough information from Police etc171 Neighbourhood watch does not appear to be on the Police/Council radar anymore.172As we are a new NHW we havent had any info about any off the above questions but pleasefeel free to get in touch with me...My local scheme has very few members and in fact the majority that I do have live out side thearea that I try to represent. There is general lack of interest in my neighbourhood about theNHW and what it does even to the point of not bothering to take copies of my newsletter orNHW publicity material. I therefore do not feel it's a worthwhile use of my time trying to get173 involved in National Campaigns.174 I am interested but members are not175 DK176 Members are notified of campaigns and they can participate directly if they wish.177 Newly formed scheme178 Our area NHW tried street "booth" for information, not enough interest.179Maybe I'm informed about them, but the emails from "Alert Neighbour" are so poor that I don'talways read them. I have asked many, many times for plain text, but it just doesn't happen. Itwas better in the old days when the emails came directly from the police station.I had hoped there would be 'any other comments' at the end and in that absence I will put aview here. I have asked my neighbours if they wish to receive Ringmaster bulletins by pc andhad no replies. The regular meetings for Co-ordinators ceased about two years ago. I haveattended meetings elsewhere in the County and been envious of the response and activity. Ihave approached both Council and Police to ask for a revival of the scheme but met with no180 response.181 Our watch should get involved. I will suggest it at our next meetingResponse on meetings is low, but for bigger campaigns the Parish Council often take the lead182 and we assist.183 I have been unavailable at the times that they have operated.184 Personal costs!55

I have only just taken over as co-ordinator, so much of it is new to me...I am just beginning to185 understand what resources are available186 Have only just started the scheme up and am learning on the job187 see above response188 I do not know if Chairperson does thisInitially I went to meetings at our HQ Police to learn how best to be of use as a coordinator andfeel that is enough for our NHW. We only cover a small area which is all I can cope with but weall look our for each other and members report anything suspicious to me and if necessary Ipass on the information to our local police. Sadly Martin Dickie who was invaluable to all189 Lincoln NHW was let go in the cut backs. We miss his expertise very much.190 Some of the events are held at locations further than I as a pensioner feel I can afford.I am beginning to detect a lack of enthusiasm from NHW coordinators and individual members.Now that the Police no longer able to support NHW (like they used to), it comes down to191 individuals to find the time, nergy and enthusiasm to promote NHW.192 We are a new scheme and haven't yet had our first meeting193Although we participated in the big lunch I have always been very disappointed in the quality,and short notice of many of the national schemes, which often seem to have little localrelevance.We are a very small community in a secluded area with no known crime, or anti-social194 behaviour195 II am new to NWS and am feeling my way at the moment196 I cannot recall being aware of any.197 Not a scheme organiser198 I am an OAP and running the scheme is enough199 Scheme members are not interested in campaigns, only in receiving home security information200 Age of members201 I would like you to note that question 14 doesn't even recognise our county.202203There is widespread apathy amongst NHW members - I can only get about 4 or 5 to attendsocial get togethers at the pubAs senior citizens we need to know who to contact when needed and to feel the Police andother bodies will be available when called.204Untill NHW has funds to spend on menial things like stamps for newsletters it seems pointless,& youve even stopped having meetings locally now, im NOT travelling 45 mins drive to them !The lack of interest in the village means that I am fighting a steep uphill battle to recognise the205 concerns dealt with by Neighbourhood Watch206 Just started - may not have time to do more than coordinate information207 There does not appear to be appetite in the village/members208 Don't knowThere has been no interest in participating, and when I've been informed of campaigns therehas been no advice about what might be helpful in my area. I've attended meetings in the pastand circulated info/contact numbers, but when I've been unable to attend have been209 unsuccessful in getting someone else to go instead.210 Lack of interest/time from other coordinators.211 Neighbours are not interested in getting together for things like that!212 I dont know213 There are only 2 houses in this NW area. Fortunately there is little to do.I am coordinator of a small Close just, 12 houses mostly pensioners, we all look out for one214 another,and are not really interested in other events.215 not a particulary 'enthusiastic' road - members show no interest basically56

216Apathy among the 30 plus members, I am now 77 and nobody wants to take it over. Policeco-operation is poor. The whole scheme is now a waste of time.Our NW/Residents Association almost dormant at the moment, no-one is interested until they217 want their problem fixed218 Being disabled does restrict me somewhat219 We are a very tiny group comprising only some 20 homes220 We are a new scheme.Often clash with other local events..Lifeboat Day Firework Day221 Town Carnival and Fetes222 I am disabled & limited in what I can do, other members do not seem as interested.223 I don't believe they would be welcomed in our village.I am met with total silence and indifference, except from the owner/occupiers. UNTILsomething like street parking arrangements (or similar) are changed, then suddenly I am224 contacted by irate residents who have hitherto shown not the slightest interest in the group.225 No interest from scheme members226 At least bi monthly meetings with Thames Valley Police227 I circulate information, residents may follow up but I do not know.Hard to time these events with our plans especially as a group with a limited number of people228 playing an active role running the scheme.229 members of watch do not want this230 The Big Lunch is supported by individuals rather than the 'scheme'231 Our area representative may attend. I pass on information if I think it is relevant to neighbours.Our Residents Association does this for Big Lunch and therefore scheme members are already232 included in this.233 Lack of local interest234 apathy amongst supposed members235we have enough more relevent things to do. I don;t want to make people feel that it is a chore.Interest is generally low unless something happensCrawley has a problem with apathy. They are happy for me to do all the work but very few236 contribute or participate.237 I don't feel that our members would be interested in them.Question 11How do you think national campaigns (on safety- and/or community-relatedissues) could be made more relevant and useful to your scheme and make youmore likely to get involved?1 website links2 Better publicityI don't know. I don't have transportation, and my neighbours are "very busy". Perhaps if3 there was a "speaker" for an hour during an evening or afternoon.4 i already get involved in everything i am asked too,5 don't know6 press releases7 To have a speaker at our meetings.8 Personal contacts so we can liase with named people and invite them to our meetings9 Not sure57

10 Good question....!!To date no information about candidates for police/crime commissioners. How can one11 make informed vote?12 Better Communication across the organisation from the Borough NHW to local branches.13 A regular presence of police14 Easy to use guides would help speed the process up on organising things locally15 I don't know16 knowledge and contactUnfortunately there are so many campaigns both public and commercial that the publictend to be immune to them. They only take note if there is something for nothing, which is17 why we have tried a free coffee morning.18 no system to activate it19 More official printed leaflets and a regular newsletter to all residents.20 See above21 I just need the relevant information to share with the members22 More information on line would be helpful.23 Holding street gatherings24 I prefr to keep matters local, rather than national.This is a scheme of relevance locally. We don't need national campaigns and particular25 days/weeks to focus on.26 information27 Relevant to local issuesIt comes across as bureaucratic; missives under this Alert system come from many, manysources with errors - webpage addresses as well as spelling!!! - they fill you wth zeroconfidence about relevance to your town.Is this topdown Big Society? The money that appears to have been wasted on the complex28 IT top-down system.29 I'm unenthusiastic about such campaigns, as (I think) are many otherslocalising national campaigns relies upon the local nhw coordinator to do the "conversion"work.not all have the time otr skill to do this. national campaigns are an oxymoron for nhw30 is about local neighbourhoods.31 If I had hands on help and advise plus more time and interest from my community32 This is something for our scheme coordinator.33 Appeal to every age34 Informing earlier35 If something has a local aspect, fine.36 Sorry,not sureTo make us aware they are being held. Also the Borough wide Meetings work very well !37 Well Done our NW Borough Wide Scheme.38 We probably will get involved if the members want to.39 more meetings40 Meetings in more local areas41 Icorporat iton county system42Bombardment with e-mails wont help. People dont want to give out their e-mails asobviously they are also bombarded with e-mailsThere has not been enough clear advice, information or general publicity for the new43 Police and Crime Commissioners. I have heard the same from people in other areas!!44 By making them easy to understand, relevant to the Community, and Free45 More information.46 More support from local Police and community safety department47 get and give information on what the achievements of the Neighbourhood have been.58

48 Meetings with other schemes in the area.49 Crime of the types NHW is tackling is local, requiring specifically local responses50 unsure at present - once our areas are running & more established , may know moreHave much more advanced notifications.Usually events are notified just the week before. I organise events 6 - 9 months in51 advance.52 Not sure53 local meetingsI would need to know about them first. I would also need more input from NHW as I workfull time. Need to be relate to issues which affect my members the most like burglaries and54 ASB55 Paper information56 more information on how to join these campaigns and what is involved57 More Advertising58 Not relevant to our scheme at all59 They are top-down with no contact to ask what is needed at a local level60 I have no idea!61 Don`t know actually - we`re only one street, and that it not adopted by the Council.62Distribution of information to all co-odinators along with items to distribute members andpotential membersFewer websites, get everything together. It is a minefield to find useful information unless63 you already know what to look for.64 keep members informed on regularly.to make them relevant to the area of the local people, more people would then be65 interested if its on their own doorstep66 See above.67 dont know68 Don't knowEncorage residents to give email address to coordinators so they can circulate morematerial, info, alerts etc qucikly and effectively. At the moment only the circulars ornewsletters delivered to me by the local police get circulated. As a coordinator I need amessage which is within a circular for residents (who are interested) to give me their emailaddress so I can forward on to them alerts etc. I need the recommendation to give out69 email addresses and the best way to do it to be issued at the national level70 More information with sufficient lead in time to plan71 We tend to focus on village matters only72 personnel visit/displayThe occasional meeting would perhaps bring people together and make them feel73 protected74 Would be nice if a NWH scheme organiser from another group paid others a visit.75 Not sure76 Would need to be organised by police, Home Office etc.77 yes78 Keep it very simple and easy to apply79 Home safety checks80By focusing on issues that are directly relevant to NHW members, eg antisocial behaviour,vandalism.81It may not be answering the question you ask but the biggest opportunity that our grouphas is to link with neighbouring groups. We are on the boundary of two police divisions soincidents close to us 'across the border' are not well coordinated by the police as far as Ican tell.59

82 With difficulty83 ?84 consistency of approchVisits by Crime Prevention Officer(s), to give advice on home security, particularly for older85 residents or people living alone.86 Higher profile, more positive publicity, and linked to local crime patterns87 Press, radio and TVScheme members are really only concerned with goings-on in the immediate88 neighbourhood. It is difficult to motivate them to take an interest.89 I think the opposite. We should get more focussed information and help90 National Campaigns are fine.91 Greater local leadership of the same by police & local authority would help92 I only circulate information provided on line93 More Local information in detailI thinknational schemes are a bad idea and the more that can be done to supress them thebetter. The questionis typical of thsoe organising such schemes, in asuming that they are94 deirable, when they are not.95 Ntionwide advertising (e.g. television)I was on a Neighbourhood Policing Committee but it was abolished, so only now liaise96 with neighbours and the groups I belong to.97 Bring in the local schools,get them involved.Instead of waiting till childern get into trouble.98 They are fine as they are99 Any information leading to a safer neighbourhood will help us.100 Info in local media. Radio Ox. Ox Times etc101 I am not informed about any campaigns so I can`t comment.102 Provide some token fund to kick start the event103 All watches are coordinated and creat the big message104People do not want to commit to lots of time being used doing things that do notimmediately affect them. Campaigns must be localised and relevant to their specificarea/neds.Increase awareness (can supermarkets get involved in this as a way to reach the localcommunity?) and ensure that the marketing material is targeted to address the top 3105 issues in the borough.106 I could be contacted and given printed info to pass to my neighbours107 Do not know there is such a wide difference between NW areas108 persuading police to provide more feed back on successes attributable to work of NHW109 not sureI have a small scheme There is liitle enthusiasm in this Village so far I am working on it110 by using the two shops and the Village Magasine .111 We believe that most people are only interested in their own property and loal issues.112113114Not sure - the area I cover is post-industrial with few residents living in high-valueapartments. There is a lot of car crime due to close location to city centre and free onstreetparking, and a vibrant night life, due to the many clubs and pubs in the area.Therefore, our localised patch doesn't really have the same issues experienced nationally(e.g. doorstep crime doesn't exist at all), and therefore the national campaigns are usuallynot relevant. The only way to improve them is to make them more localised with regards toissues as well as geographically.Better advertisements through the media (e.g. television, radio and local newspapers) anddemonstration of success stories for people to see the benefits from these campaignsby giving us more information into the activities around the coventry area especially thenorth east iof coventry60

115116117Better understanding of other issues and not just your own little bubble. Sharing ofinformationSigns could be put up in street and/or local supermarkets. Advertised innewspapers/TV/Radio/Internet.Early basic information that could be passed on so that if I cannot participate, someoneelase has the time to think about itLocal examples. Communication on successes of local NHW, crime & successful118 combat/arrests etc. Residents want to know how it affects "me & my family"119 Only hear about local campaigns.Since I am not aware of any national campaigns I cannot say how or if they could be made120 more relevant.121 Name and Shame offenders122 i want more LOCAL information123 I need to be able to order just a small amount of leaflets when a scheme is running.124 If we were made aware of what's going on!Through being put in touch with other schemes in our area so that we could work together125 on a campaign and through being provided with resources126 Posters? I'd certainly distribute them.learn new ideas to stimulate exist members.127 Re Q12-- I dont think commissioners are proficient or understand the needs of the public128 To have High Street informal meetings to inform the public.129 Really don't know.People only interested as long as it is of no inconvenience to them.130 Not at all.Would be most useful, esp. TV etc. NW was "flavour of the month" many years ago but131 now the enthusiasm has gone, with the money.132 I feel issues are made relevant, but also feel that what I do is enough at the moment.raise awareness especially in vulnerable groups who are often more difficult to reach ie nointernet.133 Perhaps a role for Community Policing134 Only matters of direct interest to our local area.As a group consisting of mainly retirees the concencus of opinion is one of satisfaction withthe current arrangements. Our group does meet for social and discussions of matters135 relevant to us.136 Don't know137 Already very good here locally.The police are excellent.138 Week-long campaigns raising awareness would perhaps increase interest.139Local police/Neighbourhood watch volunteers to directly raise profile of nationalcampaigns in local supermarkets etc.Regular meeting with local areas and cascading of resources from top to bottom i.e from140 central to local areas.141 Not sure142 It is difficult to find a forum to involve a very elderly population in our village143 Advertising in the local press.144 I'm content that they are relevant and useful already.Publicising it well in advance and if possible setting up a working group within the local145 community.146 Higher level of national publicity147 Provide promotional information, by email, for distribution.61

148repeatedly target the elderly who often do not perceive the dangers of distractionburglariesI think our scheme is useful and I liaise with a neighbouring scheme so that I can pass on149 relevant information to my members.150 door knocking introuduction to the police snt151 By linking these campaigns to local crime rates152By the District Chair and Area Coordinator supporting it. Also by the Safer NeighbourhoodTeam/police supporting Watch Scheme members in an inclusive way.I think it is more important to work hard to operate a scheme involving all residents on a153 'two way exchange'154 More information155 More television exposure156 I don't have the spare time to do more than I doBy your issuing us with support resources we can use in our local areas. But I'm not sure if157 national campaigns have much impact on my constituency....158 Email159 more visible policing160161162Our NHW area is relatively free from crime or ASB but we are glad that nationalcampaigns alert the wider public.Without any knowledge of what any of these campaigns is about I cannot respond to thisquestion.Get Naighbourhood Action Group, Milon Keunes Council and Parish Councils/MeetingsinvolvedLinked to local Community Safety Partnerships to give more local feel and relevance. 'Top163 down' approach doesn't feel right at grass roots level.164 Local police coordinates could call on roads in schrme165 Be localised to our locality166 dont know167I feel that Neighbourhood Watch only really works at a very local (neighbourhood) leveland therefore National campaigns are not relevant.I think a national tv campaign would be fantastic, or one on Look North as that covers ourarea. It would be good to actually get fellow residents more involved. Disappointing that onsuch a small development (15 properties) so few responded...........Do people perceive NW168 as a way to be nosey rather than a community service??169 not sure170 leaflets to send out with newsletters would be helpful171 more local advertising in all forms of the media172 Personally I think enforcing 'local' can have most impact.173 Don't know174 Timing and materialsNeed an umbrella organisation that co-ordinates NW matters. At the moment weseem to175 get information from a variety of sources and it is not clear who they represent176 better communicated and with ready to post communications to speed up process177 I think that the system we have at present is adequate .Higher profile needed to promote campaigns with a local coordinator assigned to liaise178 with local schemes179 Don't know180If I had more leaflets on a particular scheme they could be leaflet dropped at the sametime as a Parish Magazine (produced once a quarter). I have no funds to print them myselfbut a network of deliverers exists within the Parish. Or if it coincided with our Annual ParishMeeting. Otherwise everything distributed online.62

181 Keep us informed with what is happening.182183They could be divided up regionally instead, and focus on an issues/ or issues in thatregion.Need more up to date literature for recruitment.A national NHW welcome packIt needs an approach explaining what is available on a person to person basis. Offer of184 speakers of a high calibre likely to arouse the interest of members.185 more involvement by me and neighbours - currently not very active186Campaigns should continue to be advertised using all means of communication includingNeighbourhood Action Groups.I think that posting leaflets is the best way forward as I get the impression that only a few187 would be interested in taking it further.188 more local events189 Communicate the benefits.190 The Watch members are advised of events; but little, or no, feedback is received.191 unsure.192 More national publicityI am not sure there are any benefits from national campaigns to the watches as we lookvery much after local interests in close coorperation with the police and organisations like193 DNWAT are just talking shops and only promote inividuals.194 Moe written publications195 Don't know196 any information helps197 Availability of more, less expensive, printed resources and locally organised events198They are useful as background but local issues are always more relevant. Across thecountry different parts have different problemsIt would be good if we were to get the information to the various community policing panel199 organisers200 Don't know.201 Police attendance at Parish Council meetings.202 Must have perceived added value to NHW members203With regard to Q12 below, the Commissioners should be independent and not aligned topolitical parties.We are very fortunate to be in a low crime zone so people are probably not so likely to204 want to be bothered as there is not the need.205 I am not convinced of the value of national campaignsWould like information on Be safe for my group as to whwt to do and be aware of when206 you are out and about.207 MORE INFO208 Maybe a presentation package to be emailed?209 More advance notice.210 Not enough time availbable at the moment to commentI don't think national schemes are relevant as conditions vary so widely between places211 even in the same district212 Perhaps they could be more widely publicised in the local and national media.213 Consideration to small rural communitites adn their vunerability.214 don't know215 The schemes would need to have a local focus applicable to our community.216 information about the schemes.217 Educational info would be useful to pass on.63

218 Well it would be good to know about them219 Regular meetings with the police or council220 Not sure as I am not informed of any221 I think they are good if they are relevant to area222 Better advertising223 Need more information about them224 Not likely to have more time to spend on these issues225 More personal advice and supportWould only get more involved if the local Police asked us for assistance. A NationalCampaign would need to be targeted to our problem(s) - currently anti-social behaviour226 with property damage.227 Target types of areas - rural / inner-city228 Advertise them.229Keep sending through advice on how to keep safe and how to identify fraudsters, scamsetc.They are good but we would promote more if we were given a decent number of leaflets to230 do so231 Purely down to my time we still work, and have grandparent duties too.232 Local news TV regarding community activity would help raise public awareness.233 Not sure234 More visual information availabe to the neighbourhood235 Not interested236 More information regarding issues affecting my area.237Time & apathy is the biggest problem. I often see the local NHW newsletter in someonesrecyling bin and neighbours advising they hear nothing from me. I communicate with 30contacts on my estate and rely on them to spread the news.Our involvement is decided by the relevance of the issue to our members. If we arehaving problems with a certain issue, it is more likely that we will get involved in238 campaigns about it.239 Greater focus on vulnerable adults who are not scheme members240 Get more involvement from the local police241 I need to know about them.242 More advertising in the Media243 Short of providing dancing girls and lashings of ginger beer, you mean ?244 More advice on what they are!!245 More National Publicity, posters, even TV or mentions in the news246Ensure they are relevant locally to crimes or other anti-social behaviour taking place at thetime.The police promise to have meetings but do not. They are more interested in meetingswhere the loudest get heard. But the police can start things but cannot continue for a247 longer time.248 More information, better support from the police and other agencies.can only comment on Smart Water which was the driving force for many of my new249 members joining. Discount was very attractive.250 Don't know yet251 I don't know252They must have relevance in a local context to attract support and involvement. Most aretoo high level.64

National campaigns should lead into recruiting new members and show what NHW doesfor you, but here it seems that the "what do I get" mentality rules, I think that we could tellpeople what we do not do rather than what we do as people still think we are a "vigilante"organisation,especially after what happened in America with reference to the Ben Stiller253 film.254 I'm not experienced enuogh to answerperhaps more info on what ideally people can report on, ie even if in their own house, if255 you can smell drugs being smoked, is that enough to help comba asbo activity.256 yesShort and concise emails. Information that is relevant & makes clear where I can get257 supplies etc and no 0845 to call as these cost money!258 Assume I am doing this and it makes people feel more inclusive259Although local area (village) NW meetings are well attended I doubt if more than this wouldattract more interest.I do not think there is a way reducing the link with local Community Policing is a retrograde260 step. The Community Policing links are the key to establishing NHW Scheme credibility.261 More local presence of police262instead of just getting emails with then sites to go to obtain info, printing off my ownposters etc, I believe all info anf advertising info should be posted through to me..thesebeing leaflets, posters etc..We are a small group (13 residences). I am retired and 'look after' the estate on a 7/24263 basis. Best resource we need are safety/anti-crime infor/recommendations.264 by showing it to the local people265 Happy with things as they are.I think campaigns and the overall developement of NHW would greatly benefit from better266 communication through the ranks.267 If I were to find out about them in plenty and time268 not sure269 Give them something for nothing.270 Make them more local271 Government-paid TV Ads in support of local efforts. Patch knowledge via PCSO's272 I involve various groups with Safety talks etc.Determine where the topic or scheme is relevant and work with the co-ordinators to273 determine who will benefit from the advice.274 Better communication with Local schemes275 Only want to be informed about local issues276 I don't277 we are only intersted in local issues278 The old Home office funded application for literatureCampaigns to identify and organise help for most vulnerable people. Help buttons forvulnerable people that sound alarms in neighbours houses.279280Universal 'I Need Help' special siren sound that can only be triggered manually anddeliberately.Not sure on this, too many volunteers are not regonised for the valuable work they alreadydoIt's very hard to get residents involved in campaigns, even those who are Neighbourhood281 Watch members. Everyone's so busy these days.282 By having a NHW Administrator who takes the lead.283 I don't know.284 Would be very useful65

More promotion in locality - posters in local shops, libraries etc, feature in local parish285 magazine.286 Advance notice and resources287My NHW is in a very very low crime area with no real issues associated with ASB or othercrime types. Raising the crime profile could well increase the fear of crime when we dontreally have any.Personal contact from someone either face to face or phone to encourage and288 communicate facts and how it affects my community289 Although i would get involved, the local members of the scheme wouldn't!290 Early information291 Not sure. I feel that different areas require different solutionsLiving in a rural area, my members do not face the same problems as urban areas.292 Related issues need to be of interest locally.293 none294 When I am informed about campaigns I pass the information on to my members by email.295 More information296 more information and leafletsMOSTLY THEY ARE OLD STALE INFORMATION WHICH THE PUBLIC FINDS BORING297 - I WANT THINGS WHICH ARE AHEAD OF THE GAME AND PUNCHY298 Give more suggestions of what I could do.299 D/K300 it would take a crime wave in our village301 get some one to home checksMostly our members are not very interested in National Campaigns, so I do not know how302 that could be achieved.303 More time to organise and more support from community304Before the Police cuts were made, our Community Police Officer was such a help - nowwe do not have any input from her as her duties lie elsewhere, the incentive is only withthe co-ordinator and the residents are not particularly co-operative. Now as the coordinatorone feels rather alone. A voluntary co-ordinator of co-ordinators might be anidea if the Police can no longer afford the resource for this role.More paper leaflets and info to distribute to NHW members. A lot of the members in myown particular area are elderly and do not go out 'after dark', do not have email and do not305 want to attend meetings.306 Use local media more - papers/radio307 more publicityMost important resource is a close relationship with the Local Police Beat Team. NHWnational schemes seldom cover very rural issues like Hare Coursing but have covered308 metal theft which is a problem but all are covered by good contact with local police309 If we could put proposals together and send them to policy makers and politicians,310 Publicise them more widely via the internet311 Since I don't know about them how can I answer this question312An effective and effecient local organisation! The provision of marketing/promotionalmaterial from the local 'centre' (I.e. the local NHW organisation or centrally if moreappropriate). Effective communications (email, Twitter etc.) National and local PR comms.and campaigns. Greater involvement through political parties, Safer Neighbourhood ops.Local Authorities etc.Work to dispel the feeling that Neighbourhood Watch is just a collection of nosey dogooders.313314 Probably315 Share with others all the relevant information66

Difficult to know in all honesty. We organised a trip to County Headquarters in WelwynGarden City which proved very interesting and informative, but only about five householdsout of about 70 were represented!316317 I don't knowI believe my members are more locally focused and don't have strong interest in nationalcampaigns.To qualify my answer to 12. below - I have absolutely no date on which to vote in the318 Police & Crime Commissioner elections on November 15th319 See above!320 Propet organised meetings321 i would like to chat too some one about the campaigns322 more targetted to my community.323 no comment324325I don't really know as my NW members wanted to join but don't seem to be interested inany further parcipationThis is a small village in a very rural area; and crime in the area is very low. The issues inrural areas are different from urban ones.Post out all the details, so they can be delivered to the scheme members when I deliverthe crime & safety advice.I do not have the time or resources to be a publicist for campaigns that our schemes aren't326 a part of.327 Maybe by adverts in local papers328 Our main concern is to keep members interested and find new members329330Local media make the members aware of the local problems as does the information senton the webA fine society is always in need of team work & support. Campaigns on a national level willbe very effective.Material made available to us: A calendar of events would help: for the whole year. We331 could then plan them to coincide with national campaigns.332 Not unless they are truly local333 Better use of Internet.334 Not sure. We have very little crime happening here.335 Greater publicity in advance, focus on individuals and homes.336 make it more local. National is of interest: Local is of importance337 Get our local police more involved with local issues by promoting these campaigns338 More TV air time promoting NHWThey need to speak to residents of all ages, we have young families and elderly people339 living on their own (the latter often without computers)340 No particular commentMake them more relevant. Most are so general as not to be worth mentioning. I have341 passed certain ones on, for example, scams342 I am disabled and am not able to get more involved343 The important thing is notification of crimes and scams in the area, which we do get.344 Information about issues, would be useful345 more publicity on radio & TV.346 Already cascade information to neighbourhood schemes.347 getting more local police door knocking348By targeting specific age groupsand crimes relevant to them.ie older community -coldcallers and con men younger age groups theft with mobile phones67

349 You have already many events organised with the cooperation of the whole community.National Campaigns do not address local crime condition, which are specific and ever350 changing. Crime is a351 No suggestions352Any campaign literature/information would need to be posted to co ordinators at least threemonths before the event occurs, so that scheme members can know its going on. Internetdocuments need to be printed out which involves time and cost and therefore rarely getsdone, particularly in time for the campaign.I will get involved as long as local people are interested. The way I lobby them, they don'thave a lot of choice!!!353 You WILL enjoy yourself!354 Involvement of local police355 I am elderly and my members generally apathetic.356 indirectlyMore publicity might help. Articles in local Parish newsletter rarely brings in new357 members.358 Whilst quite good they are not local neighbourhood specific enough359If scheme coordinators would get hold of safety videos and then duplicate them to give totheir membership. Cost recoverable from national campaign organisers.Better notice by email and more relevant/less patronising, I mean "Big Lunch" - please, no360 - my eyeballs have just exploded!361 Publish a list of local crimes in an easy to read formula and put through people's doors.I doubt if anything much would help - people in my scheme don't seem interested in362 events.363 setting up exhibitions in the very local areaan email link to a national campaign which I can forward to our NHW group would be364 useful to reinforce what they see on TV or in the papers.365 more information that can be circulated by email366 Involvement from the local PCSOs367 Direct answers to direct questions would be a good start.368 The need is for local people to motivate membershipI need more printed information to distribute as my members will not use e-mail and this is369 were I get most information.370 Advanced warning and detailed information onlineI think that the level of information circulated by all Town, County and National NHWschemes tend to be low level, uninteresting and uninspiring.The police website www.police.uk website is very informative and provides much of theinformation that I circulate to the rest of the village each month although the crime andjustice outcomes do not appear to be available.The crime alerts (although not always available) are also circulated promptly and areappreciated.371When there is a local crime it is a complete waste of time to phone 101 for information.The police are a waste of time!Work with local Police - who sadly don't have the man power and enough time.Provide ringfenced money to councils to spend on EXISTING Neighbourhood Watchschemes. Then given time and encouragement new NHW schemes would be created.Make local authorities acountable to spend money on every existing NHW scheme (for372 example amounts to range from £10 to £200).373 Its ok68

374 National press or tv ads staing that NHW means that people are watching their local area.375 Better communication376 More national T.V adverts and internet advertisingToo much goes on using e-mail and websites. Whilst these are useful, in order to bring377 things alive there has to be more face-to-face communications.378 I feel the resources which may be used can better be channelled into fighting crime.379 put ad in nrwsletters such as police news, or neighbourhood watch380 Better promotedWhen our internal structure is adequate then we will be able to get involved. Hopefullythese events are well signposted so that we get adequate notice to plan. In 2012 someevents seemed to co-incide with our JUBILEE plans in the village. Our volunteer efforts get381 stretched.382 Have police set up training days for specific areas383 Make it easy and clear to understand & nothing too time consuming384 simpler e-mailing385 An effective penal system, currently criminals are not afraid to re-offend repeatedly386 N/A387 An easy how to get involved point planI find the domestic and business community appreciate seasonal initaiive, 'Darker Nights','Personal Safety', 'Eggs & Flower', 'Fireworks Awareness' and 'Xmas Drink Drive' etc. Itcomes as almost expected now with the successful use of community notice boards ,which is really good. However, to prevent this becoming jaded and 'same old' I feel itimportant also to have responsive posters that catch local and national feeling, as thoseevents that catch the public attention through the media etc. For example, we have had thepreviously unthinkable suicide of a Police Officer, wounded, blinded and disevowed byGoverment, also the street executution of two young female WPC's, daytime in an Englishstreet, all in the 'course and cause' of duty, yet there has been no oppotunity taken by theHome Office to promote a poster initiative that might invite more support from thecommunity for their Local and National Policing Teams in this time of almost criminallydisproportionate cuts in UK Policing. More over the 'Cheif Whip' compramises the trueopinion of UK Police in a 'Fuidian Slip' using the 'P' word. An opportunity was lost there,this together with these present Goverment activities, this can only invite an attitude ofgreater courage and reassrance.....in the criminal fraternity. This to the equal and oppositedisadvantage UK Police ,the sale of Police Stations against a growing population,systematic dismantling of moral and the ability to provide public reassurance, prevent anddetect crime. A National campaign might start imedialety entitled 'We your Goverment got388 it Wrong-Police Repreived, Reinstatement Commences Now'.389 By being relevent to local issues390 National campaigns should make their own presence felt through the mediaDifficult to say we are a small HHW scheme only 11 members all O.A.Ps, very busy withgrand children etcnot many have computers we all seem to look out for each other anything FREE is always391 welcome.392 More leaflets that I could pass on to my NW members.393 Better publicised394 We produce a local newsletter that is generally relevant to our area395 keep it simple396 Schemes need to concentrate on local issues.397 More imaginative marketing.69

398We make the effort with campaigns that are relevant to us. Provide materials inPowerpoint or Word format to allow watches to make relevant to themselves, and enablelocal Watches to access printing / copying through the police.They need to be more directed to the elderly and, in many instances here, infirm, who are,or tend to be, forgetful about vulnerable windows, doors etc., and who are trusting and so399 vulnerable to distraction tactics etc.400 Door to door sessions'401 Not sure402 Need more information about them.403 more information required404 More editorial articles and reports in local press.405 Get a police rep.to vist us and check the way we are looking after our particular Road.406 More awareness407 via local supermarkets408 Better use of technology and social mediasupport from town council - use of their premises to have speaker address us during409 national campaigns410 They need to be in the local area.411 Increase public awareness (preventative)412 The previous set up was quite adequate before it was changed to the current one.413 By locking up criminals for longer.There is nothing which would make me or my members want to spend more time on this,414 except perhaps a major crime wave in the area.415 Bring back Tony Day??????416 WE DONT LIKE NANNY STATES417 We are very much a local, village oriented group.418 Not sure as this is a quiet, rural area with a very low level of crime.419 visit from a home safety person to visit watch members420 n/a421 -422Cut the debt, reduce the cost of policing and use the money to cut tax, stimulate theeconomy and giving youngsters a job.the police, as opposed to PCSO's should be more involved on the ground. the reason Ithink that the introduction of PCC's is bad is because one person cannot replaceeffectively the Police Authority which is served by experienced local representatives. It is423 a disgrace that this survey does not give an opportunity to state why PCC's are a bad idea!424 Allotment Watch materials425 BY PROVIDING MORE MATERIAL TO HAND OUT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.Depends on local circumstances ..often irrelevant to our members /comunity whilst veryrelevant for more affluent areas.Local circumstance is crucial , otherwise there's no426 engagement .427 Yes428 Visits to day centres for the elderly and or 0ver 50's429 Greater awareness and more advertising70

Simple ideas easily applied in my area without needing lots of creativity or time by me.No Free comment available on next question (12) Problem I see is that they are, in themain, Party Candidates from the main Political Parties. Independents need a huge sum ofmoney to stand and don't even get a free postal service so only those backed by big partymachines across the Force area have any chance of getting leaflets delivered at a sensible430 cost. Turnout will be minute!431 No, not really.432 Need to be informed about them my local police team give me very limited information.433A summary sheet advising how many reports of burglars in the area would be helpful, thiswould focus the neighbour's attention on the vulnerability of their propertyJust beiung sent relevant information which we can send out to NHW residents for theirinformation. Too many meetings take up too much time and never seem to sort things out434 quickly.435 More publicity436 Let us know about them and what we are to do.437 By direct amil to me438 Genuine support and partnership from the local SCT. At present it is a one-way street.439 posters more infoWe work wth the community young and old but we do need stronger involvement but440 general apathy within the community holds us back441 Perhaps by more person to person contact with police, if possible.442I believe NHW is changing and becoming less paper/meeting related and more online/chat/twitterrelated. The objective will be to encourage as many people as possible tokeep an eye open in their community and use informal social networking resources to getinstant information out to the rest of the population and the police, PCSOs, SaferNeighbourhood Team, etc., while also enable near-instantaneous distribution ofintelligence on emerging crime or social support/cohesion concerns.By concentrating on new hazards which householders might face. Most of my schememembers are pensioners and they have heard all the usual exhortations about security443 many times before.444 Satisfied445 NK446 By providing more resources447 Personal contact on a regular basis.448 local meetingsThrough regular police presence at Parish Council Meetings449 so that information can be circulated through Parish Council newsletters450 No idea451 Make them more targeted. Rather than just national inject local flavour.More action and less lip service on things like cycle lanes and reduced speed limits past452 schools453 See above454 If I knew about them it would help.455 Through regular local group meetings456 More information through e-mails457 By sending info out on the alert scheme458 More TV promotion459 LOCAL meetings and updates460 Please send me the information71

461 My area is only small and therefore doesn't generate major related issues462 Items need to be very localised to be of interest463 Local alert system that is specific to that fir high visibility464 Currently have no need for them.465466467It's probably doing a good job. I've been to evening burglary awareness sessions andthere are articles in the local community newsletter.Highlight what crimes are commited and where and give real life scenarios that underlinethe crimes and their impact on normal lives.The area is very well aware of the safety issues,I do meet many of my members atsupermarkets events I hold many times a year.Would hav e to produce bilingual publicity material .. Something aimed at selling NHW468 locally + recruiting Co-ordinators.469 I get absolutely no contact from the Neighbourhood Watch team in my area.470 Cannot get local support never mind national471 more liaison with local policeProvide more than just an electronic document and run a calendar so that you can lookahead and think that would be good, that one less so, or we might delay a local issue472 because a bigger campaign would do as well if we wait a month473 national press and television.474 Don't know. Don't have a view.475 More Publicity in Local Papers to save time explaining to members476 More publicity at a local level477 Through local Police Sergeants and Local Community Police478 -479 Increased awareness of issues by individuals through advertising480 No ideaThere has to be some resonance between what the campaign is trying to do and what the481 local people are concerned about.482 I think our local teams inform us483 I am not convinced that they could be made relevant484 Dont know485 much so486 I usually just pick out the matters of local interest and distribute this.487 Advertising in National-level media488 Higher local press profile / coverage489 use youtube or video links on messages490 More e-mail information that can be passed to member491 They must be topical and relevant492 Receive info via post with ideas and promo to help get underway493 Information on national campaigns sent to coordinator494 More media attention495 Keep things simple for the more elderly peopleif national campaigns were more visible to non-members, ie national newspapers, etc. itcould help to remove the stigma of 'curtain twitchers' and recruit more schemes and496 members.497 I don't think any national scheme can work - nor does one size fits all498499Difficult to get younger, computer-literate people on board, we're seen as a leftover fromDad's Army.Recently we seem to receive less useful information. I think we need to know about whatcrimes are being commjitted so we can be alert.72

Out of 90 households who are members I have one volunteer, so I just can't participate500 due to lack of time and helpers. Difficulty in finding meeting place - none in ward.501 better publicity502 no ideas TV adverts seem to be effective503504If there was more advance warning of events, like a calender for the up coming new year,that could be updated and circulated. This way we could work out a more effective way torepresent our community in these larger events.Tell me about them in a plain text email containing the URL to a suitable web page. I alsowish that I was not encouraged to join Facebook or Twitter - although "they" deny that theydo this.By the relevant and responsible authority holding meetings for Co-ordinators to give a lead505 and uniform approach to residents.506 N/ARef.12 &13 . A first rate leader would be good, but a bad one would be catastrophic. Wedon't know the candidates abilities. It would be better to have group responsibility, withindividuals responsible for different areas of work. The job is too big for one man andwould not attract the best qualified. The position would attract all the brick-bats that the507 media could find.508 Merely local encouragement and communication is all that is needed..The groups coordinators are, like myself employees and there is a greater demand on ourtime, however we combine with Parish Council resources to put on events - unless there is509 a lack of interest locally.510 A little more visibility of officers "on the Beat" in our area.511 Share good practise and ideas used in other areas that are relevant to our area.512 N/A513 Members are very concerned about cuts in policing and the increase of crime and ASB.514 more marketing to co-ordinators515 VERY IMPORTANT TO ME.516 We are a very small scheme where many feeling safe in their envirnment517 Needs to be local and to9 have an higher profile.518 Possibly, but I suggest local issues would have more impact in our community.519 I'm happy to get involved - I just don't know how to520 By communicating through the media, local community centres etc.521 Inform me about them and I will act on the information.522 am involved enough. we live in a very small village523 send emails which could be passed onto neighbours524 plenty of advance warningI feel people lead busy lives and would not wish to become involved. To be a Member of525 the NHW Scheme & its awareness is sufficient.526 Make relevant to the smallest scheme membersWe are only concerned with local issues that have an impact on our Watch area so527 national campaigns cannot possibly be relevant528 No ideaOur scheme is a small scheme in a rural area and national campaigns abd community529 related issues tend to concentrate on larger villages530 No viewsI am a retired pensioner and just look after the 20 houses in my road by passing on info531 from the TV police532 Yes I would like to join.533 Better advertising and presentation in e-mail form for forwarding to members.534 more help from upline .none over 2 yrs73

535 Police Presence and Response to antisocial behaviour536The problem is more about getting volunteers to join in and help. The campaignsthemselves are pretty good.Make your information relevant to residents so that co-ordinators don't have to be so537 involved.538 Making the public more aware by press coverage539540I'm not sure that they can if you are based in a small rural village with a large proportion ofelderly residents. Crime prevention issues tend to be of most interest and these aregenerally well catered for.No idea but I do know it was a terrible mistake to make Martin Dickie redundant in the cutbacks as he had years of police experience and was invaluable to Lincoln NHWNeed more information from Police Chiefs who only pretend to be interested in NhWatch541 by giving iot only 'lip service'542 more information on what to do543 More NW articles in local press and on TVMy function is to just keep contact with the other Watches in my area to ensure they are544 still functioneing and have enough Asst Co-ordinators!545 I don't know546 Need a lot more encouragement.547548re publicity - standard Press Releases that could be sent out and inserted into all Localpapers, free magazines, etc. National advertising, posters, etc.When there is a coherent and consistent national approach to the existence of, theimportance of and support for NW from Government and all police forces. In future drivenby PCCsMy limitations are time related so don't expect I would respond in any greater way. The549 exception would where if affects vulnerable people locally e.g. help in heavy snow550 A more consistent approach551 More notification of dates, more resources, leaftes/poster etc.552 Difficult to answer, since there's inevitably some duplication with local initiatives and infoLOCAL CAMPAIGNS WORK WELL. WE ARE PART OF THE SAFER ARUN553 PARTNERSHIP. INTERESTED IN OTHER AREA ACTIVITY TO GLEAN NEW IDEAS.554 N/A555 No. And what schemes?556 info coming through is very good.557They are too remote and put together by people more interested in making a name forthemselves rather than addressing real needs, instead of finding out what is neededGeneral good advice tips in newspapers on the radio local, community magazines, parish558 mags etc559 don't know560 We already get advice and information from our local NHW scheme.Ensure we see a local policeman regularly who is not constantly changing which results in561 us never developing any rapport with the police.562 More leaflets and advertising material563 Better info, and MUCH BETTER liaison with police564 Not really565 We manage effectively without campaignsCommunity service providers need to work as true partners & engage more with566 communities.567 N/A568 Unsure - most residents here do not like being 'organised' by local or national government!74

569 TV, National newspapers and posters570 more regional activcity571 Unsure572 NHWN needs to be promoted first573 Mor leaflets on Safety etc.Not if you don't recognise our county and this is also relevant to question 12 and 13. Theissues for which you advertise a commissioner are clearly not relevant in our county which574 incidentally is Rutland and not Leicestershire575 More funding576 not geared to semi rural areas577 not sure578 A much higher profile of community police officers patrolling my area. Never see one !!The national campaigns would awake all communities to work close and to boost existing579 scheme to include more residents in locally related issues.580 ok as they are581 It might be worthwhile holding them in the villageMy local salaried development officer could do more to ensure that we are bang upto date582 on national campaigns583 Already in CS for county and borough levels584 do not knowRegular statistics to high light that, although generally a crime free area, the dangers of585 complacency.586 I don't know587 Better publicity588 Not sure - challenge is getting local residents to show interest in the NW scheme.589590Much of the info I receive on how to keep property safe seems obvious, so I'm not surethat national schemes really helpmeetings' need to be more local. Could be at the local Police Station which is close by myarea.I think they probably can't - I don't believe they are really relevant to our community andtoo much information - on things of little interest - tends to irritate people and turn them off591 those things which are important.592 by producing outcomes593Perhaps a degree of competition might be a good incentive and encourage participation.May be a prize or two as a carrot?People seem to be interested in things that affect them directly eg road safety on our road,litter, graphiti, lighting. We're in a low crime area, but people are interested in the594 outcomes when crimes have been reported eg detection and conviction.595 No answer596 By finding me more time.597 Possibly if national campaigns could connect enquirers with their local group.Provide booklets advising how to avoid scams and unsolicited callers, reduce unsolicitedtelephone calls, mail and email, making your home safe and secure at night and when598 away.599 Any raising of awareness is positive but I think local focus always best.600 More publicity601 There is no time to get involved in yet more activities602Not really interested in national campaigns as such. More interested in LOCAL crimeproblems. Definitely NOT interested in electric blanket campaigns and similar! In fact Iconsider that the NHW Scheme is being abused by police PR departments, all of which isdeleted unless it is strictly relevant to 'my' scheme members.75

603It is difficult to contact police. Local Police Stn not functioning for a great deal of the time.Should be an email address. Phones and letter writing are a send-off. There is noopportunity to comment on question 12 so I will comment hereI have not seen any information as to what are the duties of Police & CrimeCommossioners. I have not seen a list of people applying. What will be the pay for theseguys/girls how long will they serve.I think we get too much information in the Neighbourhood Alert emails. It is hard to see the604 wood for the trees.605 no more involved606 Wider publication607 PublicityInformation that can be dislayed on our website. Answers to police questions from our608 community website discussions board.609 Publicity for the advantages of N-Watch on TV and in the PressWe are currently in the middle of a tram system implementation and extra safety advice610 about overhead power lines etc would be good for the children in the area.611 What's a "scheme"?612 Could organise more local events613 More visible police patrols on foot and using local press614 They seem very impersonal receiving the info via emailBe are a rural area, national campaigns seemed more geared to urban/city life. The615 occassional rural theme would interest members more616 Main North Kent NHW scheme to laiise with it's sub watches on way forward.617I expect we could do more, only I am now over 80, and all our other members are either invery full-time work or incapacitated...In my village I don't want to overload residents with stuff that is not to do with their security.The population is very conservative and while there is broad alignment on securityconcerns, issues to do with safety or community cohesion are not universally supported,618 so promoting them could detract from our central message about security.619 Keep the message short and to the point keep the pages downOnly if other government bodies take notice of recommendations by the Police and are620 prepared to fund those recommendations, instead of penny-pinching621 I don't know622 I'd just need to be advised of them.623 Needs more publicity624 Just more info please.625 Current system adequate626 MORE PUBLICTY627 through local committee628 good629 More information/notice and support630 possibly - but it is very hard to find the time with other commitmentsLots of car theft/damage, property damage, gangs of people hanging around, groups ofpeople knocking door and trying to gain entrance, only open window now, cold callers (liketo find out about stickers) Council has finally come out after complaining to theombudsman re rubbish/behaviour of neighbour and lack of respect by police for problem631 behaviour.632 I think this would help immensly633 get the police more involved in valuing nhw. walk the walk.634 Keep me informed635 More locally focussed promotional material76

636Not sure. Being part of Neighbourhood watch has not prevented the cars in my street fromconstantly being vandalised and the police seem powerless to help. Therefore I can't seehow more campaigns will help. In my opinion the money spent on these campaigns wouldbe more usefully spent putting more policemen/women on the streets.A more friendly way of printing to make it less expensive to share information.637 Photocopying is so expensive & the more we can get on a sheet the better.638 National Press639I doubt that they could. There is a strong community feeling and I don't think NationalCampaigns would be welcomed.WHEN - as has happened in the past - something really 'major' happens in the street, Iwould like to be visited by a member of the police force/community police officer. NOT so Ican gather together a vigilante group, but with many single young women living on thisroad, I NEED to be able to alert them to anyone 'hanging around'/flashing. A few yearsago we had a small brothel started up TWO DOORS AWAY from my own property, and onanother occasion a property on the street was surrounded by armed police (daytime)because a gun had been seen on the premises. NOBODY approached nor discussedthese incidents with me, which strengthened my feeling that IMPORTANT, LOCAL640 information is basically only going one way, TO the police FROM me! NOT very mutual!641 present level about right642 Not sure, apathy of members is deep set and unlikely to get excited about any initiative!There's nothing wrong with national campaigns - and general articles on trends etc areinteresting and circulated - but the main focus of NW ought to be a local one as people643 would rapidly lose interest; it's hard enough keeping local levels of interest.644 Very useful and welcome the opportunityIf local residents got encouragement to set up a watch and then get special safetymeasures in return. A big campaign should start in Tower Hamlets to increase the numberof watches and start a campaign with slogans like "we are all neighbours" or "Be part ofthe solution not the problem" or "report it, don't ignore it" or "areas with less watches have645 more criminals" or "criminals are choosing areas with out watches".646 As above647 I don't know648We live in a semi rural area (large Village) ans local policing is spread very thinly becauseof finance, we could do with moreinfo on how residents can contact police or report issues.Co-ordinators like myself could be told in advance what is involved, including if necessary649 get togethers.650 Publicity locally: door to door, local newspaper, library etcThey're mostly irrelevant. People are too busy trying to hold their jobs down to take much651 notice of them.652 Quite happy with present system.653 Plenty of advice and details far in advance of the events.654This is difficult: in my quiet area there is too muich complacency - until of coursesomething bad happens; then everyone is motivated - temporarily!If I were better informed about them. I am quite busy anyway so would need to be told655 about them, preferably by email, so that I could join our scheme in.656 ?657 not sure658 Materials free and easier to obtain659 local newsheet660it is the Fear of Crime that most people are affraid of. The actual crime is very low. Nothingis done to deminish this fear as it can't be seen or measured.77

661 More notice and better ideas how to do it662 No663 If they don't relate directly to the local area, I find people aren't particularly interested.664 I have no opinion on this665 Involvement of local policeI think they can be overdone. There is local community police representation at open666 village meetings to answer questions and take feedback.667 Promote them more with direct email to me668669It's not just a question of getting ME involved - it's getting the residents to be involved andapathy plays a large part.Lack of self motivation of local members makes it difficult to involve them in nationalcampaigns - they are more likely to respond to local initiatives particularly when there hasbeen an increase in local problems / crime.There is some scepticism of the 'The Big Society' concept and reluctance to be drawn intonational initiatives which may be incorrectly associated with it.They need to be planned many months in advance, and properly coordinated via the local670 District NW Association.671 Offer incentives672 More things for children, play day ideas etc673 Time is the restricting factor674 Statistrics on success! More reporting in Media and praise occasionaly675 I'm happy with the information I alreadt have.676It's not easy to answer. It like asking why don't all houses have alarms fitted? It's obviousbut mostly ignored because "it's not going to happen to me"I'm not sure specific campaigns at National level will ever really work as volunteers aregeared to their own local issues not to any nationally decided ones. A generic press677 campaign to highlight the purpose of NW could be more helpful678 More ideas of what types of events to hold. Suggestions of what to do to mark event.679 No ideas, sorry680National campaigns do not interest people in general - they are only interested in local orcounty issues78
