Pub Watch
Representatives from pubs meet regularly to discuss problems or incidents that have happened on a licensed premise. The network is also used to share information about anyone banned from a licensed premise in the area and is a scheme is supported by the police and council.
Shop Watch
Shops in this scheme are given a radio and are able to communicate with other shop owners, the police and the CCTV control room, so that they can report crimes taking place, suspicious behaviour or share intelligence.
Horse Watch
This scheme builds links with stables and the police to increase the reporting of crimes relating to equestrianism and share intelligence.
Dog Watch
This scheme encourages residents who walk their pets to report any suspicious behaviour they may see while out and about.
