George Town Police launched Neighborhood Watch Scheme in Silver Oaks

A Neighbourhood watch scheme is now up and running in the Silver Oaks complex on Crewe Road George Town.

On Saturday March 15th 2014 PC Cornelius Pompey and PC Brian Jameson of the RCIPS Neighbourhood Policing dept. in the George Town district, presented the Neighbourhood Watch sign to Mr. Richard Wildman (holding sign) and Ms. Robyn McLean presidents of the Silver Oaks Neighbourhood Watch Committee.

Constable Pompey stated that “neighbourhood watch is a crime prevention program that stresses education and common sense. It empowers communities to be aware of what is happening within their community as well as to build partnership with other residents and the police. It’s about keenness and alert, as the police cannot be everywhere all the time”

Constable Jameson also encourages the residents to report suspicious activities to the Police, he said, the Police will continue their high visibility patrol within the neighborhood which can be a deterrent to criminal activities.

Anyone wishing to know more about Neighbourhood Watch or any other crime prevention methods and tips should contact The George Town Neighbourhood Policing Department on 9494222 ext.: 5316/3056

If you have information about crime that was or is being committed please call crime stoppers at 1-800-TIPS. (8477).
