Home Office praises town
A Neighbourhood Watch project has received national recognition from the Home Office.
Tring – Hertfordshire's first Neighbourhood Watch Town - could now be used as a model for the rest of the country after it was given a Best Practice status.
More than 90 per cent of streets in the town are covered by the initiative as residents work with police to tackle crime in the town.
Around 215 co-ordinators send out crime alerts and police messages to their members through an award-winning Online Watch System (OWL).
Brenda Griffiths, Police Authority lead member for Neighbourhood Watch, said: "It is thanks to the hard work of the members on the ground who contribute so much to our communities."
