SOUTH MITCHELL

Connected, informed and empowered communities in which people feel safe and secure. 

To be a vibrant, inclusive and effective organisation this improves the safety and security of community life across Victoria. We do this by supporting our members and partners in promoting crime prevention, resilient communities and social inclusion. 

Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) is a not-for–profit community-based organisation where volunteers come together to support Victoria Police to make their local communities safer by promoting crime prevention initiatives and closer community ties.

NHW relies on its team of volunteers to implement its programs and work together to support Victoria Police in their efforts to reduce crime in the community. Much of our work involves encouraging, advising and awareness of crime prevention. In doing this, we free up Police members to undertake the more technical crime prevention and detection work for which they are trained.

NHW groups have a variety of ways they can raise the required level of funds, including donations, advertising and fundraising events such as sausage sizzles.
