How you can help to keep your community safe

Find out about our bystander intervention module and local Neighbourhood Watch and Essex Watch schemes

Essex Watch

Essex Watch is about using local knowledge to keep people safe and preventing crime. It brings people together based on shared interests instead of geographic location. These people form networks to share information, help each other and prevent crime. It can also help the police to know what's going on and understand community concerns.

Essex Watch Schemes include:

  • Allotment Watch
  • Business Watch
  • Caravan Watch
  • Dog Watch
  • Farm & Rural Watch
  • Heritage Watch
  • Marine Watch
  • Plane Watch
  • Essex Horse Rider Volunteer Scheme
