About Us
HOW WE STARTED AND WHY WE ARE HERE

HOW WE STARTED:

Bassetlaw Neighbourhood Watch Association was formed in 1996 to provide services, advice and support for Neighbourhood Watch groups in Bassetlaw who wished to join the Association. On the demise of their Association, we were joined by groups from Newark & Sherwood in 2001 and now cover the whole area of B Division of Nottinghamshire Police Force. The Association is covered by a written constitution and controlled by a Management Team elected by members at each Annual General Meeting.  Volunteers to serve on the Management Team are always welcome.  Click on the designated link below to find out more.  The Management Team has a Partnership Agreement with Nottinghamshire Police, B Division, and an outline copy can also be viewed by clicking on the designated link below.  Our office is at Worksop Police Station.

WHY WE ARE HERE :


Neighbourhood Watch is a partnership where people come together to make their communities safer. It involves the Police, Community Safety departments of local authorities, other voluntary organisations and, above all, individuals and families who want to make their neighbourhoods better places to live. The Police can`t deal with the problems and issues arising from crime and anti-social behaviour alone; they need the help of the whole community. Neighbourhood Watch provides a way for local people to play an important part in addressing this balance and making their communities safer.
