WELCOME TO THE FIFE NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH WEBSITE.
THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE INCLUDES HOW TO START AND RUN A NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH, SOME SAFETY ADVICE AND OTHER ARTICLES / EVENTS.
The Fife Neighbourhood Watch Association was one of the bodies which organised the start up of the National Body in Scotland, the Association of Scottish Neighbourhood Watches (AoSNW) and is proud to have two Trustees on the Board. This gives us access to the Scottish Business Crime Centre (SBCC), The Scottish Community Safety Network (SCSN), all Scottish Police Forces and the Scottish Government.
Our constitution will be reviewed in 2012 as the current formats has membership nominated by the Local Area Associations.
Two of the Local Associations have folded in recent times and the members must now find a way of establishing a more flexible membership, perhaps individual members, to ensure that the Association is fully sustainable.We hope to keep this website functioning whatever the Future holds.
Ever since NW was introduced into Scotland in the early 1980s, Fife Police have been our main partner supporting the movement from its early days to the present time with the current Community Policing model engaging the public in deciding policing priorities and strengthening the NW profile.
The Fife Neighbourhood Watch Assn. was registered with the Inland Revenue as a Scottish Charity, registration number
SC 035494.
We are currently registered with OSCR, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator
OSCr
30 years of Neighbourhood Watch has seen many changes in the policing strategy throughout the U.K.
The NW movement has now, more than at any time in its history, to be self reliant, actively promoting safety and building stronger communities.
