Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators to be commended by Chief Constable at Neighbourhood Watch AGM

Press Releases

Published: 06/05/2010

Three Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators from around the Hampshire Constabulary area will receive awards from Hampshire Constabulary Chief Constable Alex Marshall at the Hampshire Neighbourhood Watch Annual General Meeting in Farnborough on May 8.

Walter Seymore from Yateley, Sharon Barnett from Hale and Brian Turner from Denmead will receive their awards for their work as chief co-ordinators of Neighbourhood Watch areas.

Commenting on the awards, Sue Gibson, Hampshire Constabulary’s Neighbourhood Watch Co-Ordinator, said: "Walter has worked tirelessly with his local Safer Neighbourhoods officer since 2004 to completely revamp Neighbourhood Watch from a few tired, inactive, forgotten, totally demoralised schemes to a thriving Neighbourhood Watch area with clean, well positioned signage and an active membership.

"Sharon is relatively new to Neighbourhood Watch but is passionate about her community and in the past year has started a scheme in Hale, working tirelessly with her vulnerable residents ensuring messages and crime prevention information reaches everyone.

"Brian is the chief co-ordinator of Denmead and surrounding Neighbourhood Watch areas in central Hampshire. Brian has been part of Neighbourhood Watch for many years, attending Hampshire association meetings and ensuring his community receives regular crime prevention advice. He works closely with his local Safer Neighbourhoods Team."

Neighbourhood Watch members are the eyes and ears of Hampshire Constabulary in local communities and provide valuable assistance with crime prevention and getting messages out to the community.

Many Safer Neighbourhoods teams have made it a priority to set up more Neighbourhood Watch schemes in their areas, and can be contacted for help setting up or revitalising schemes.

Find your local team by visiting www.hampshire.police.uk and putting in your postcode, or call 101 to speak to your local team.
