It is a community based program aimed at reducing the incidence of preventable crime and preserving your way of life．

　　A police officer on patrol may not know what is normal in your street and may not recognize a stranger in your yard．You and your neighbours are in a position to observe and report anything of a suspicious nature to police．Some members of a community do nothing about suspicious activities, as they do not know what to do or if their neighbours would appreciate their involvement．Neighbourhood Watch is protection of your property and lifestyle through communication and co-operation between neighbours．

　　·Reduce preventable crime．

　　·Encourage reporting of suspicious(令人怀疑的)activity．

　　·Reduce the fear of crime within the community．

　　·Improve the level of home security in the community．

　　·Improve the quality of information passed to Police．

　　·Encourage the engraving of property to discourage theft．

　　·Assist in identifying recovered property．

　　Within the Perth metropolitan area, several Local Government authorities have appointed Neighbourhood Watch Development Officers and their duties include：

　　·Promotion of Neighbourhood Watch．

　　·Recruitment(充实, 招收)of volunteers．

　　·Liaison(联系)with the community, Crime Prevention Officers, local Police and other relevant(相关的)authorities．

　　·Organization of and participation in public meetings promoting Neighbourhood Watch．

An old man who has retired：I think it will be good to have neighbourhood watch．Neighbourhood watch is a community-based crime prevention program that aims at reducing the incidence of preventable crime such as burglary and theft as well as promoting closer community ties．I think it necessary to organize all the people in a community to take part in it．

A young single man：I want to be involved but haven’t got much time．How much time do I need?

A woman who has been married：If everyone takes an active part in neighbourhood watch, we’ll feel safe．Besides, it’s a good way to get to know our neighbours so that we can get on well with each other．
