🎉💚🤝 Congratulations to one of Tasmania Police's trusted community partners - Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania Inc - which is turning 40!
Starting with the first ‘Watch’ at Risdon Vale in 1986, the community-led crime prevention organisation has now grown to more than 50 groups across the state, and it remains as relevant today as it was 40 years ago.
President and State Co-ordinator, Peter Edwards, said Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania Inc exists to help communities help themselves. “We can't expect the police to be everywhere, so we ask what can we do that can make a difference - collectively and individually? We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone.”
Neighbourhood Watch aims to improve the quality of life for all Tasmanians, by helping to minimise preventable crime and promote good community relationships - particularly with the police.
👏 Well done to the members of Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania Inc - you're continuing to help build stronger and safer communities. Thank you!
