Neighbourhood Watch was started in Tay Township in 1998 and has grown in support and has helped cut crime by a large percentage.  Neighbourhood Watch is a program aimed at reducing crime in the community.  It involves getting to know one’s neighbours an introducing them to the concepts of Neighbourhood Watch.  This is good neighbours working together, alert to the potential of crime and willing to look out for one another.  Neighbours working together through Neighbourhood Watch can combat crime in their area the most effective way, before it starts.
