Keeping Barnet’s Community Safe.
Barnet Neighbourhood Watch (BNW) is a community-led initiative to make our neighbourhoods safer and more secure. BNW works in partnership with the police and the local council to prevent crime, reduce anti-social behaviour, and promote community safety.
The scheme moved under CB Plus’ guardianship in April 2018. With over 40 years of experience helping and supporting communities in Barnet, CB Plus was a natural choice to continue the vital work of BNW.
One of London’s Most Vibrant and Successful Schemes:
BNW, a successful community safety scheme in London, has received praise from the borough commander to the Deputy Mayor of London for its contributions. It is also a pioneer user of the Online Watch Link crime reporting database and has received funding from MOPAC and London Borough of Barnet.
How Does Neighbourhood Watch Work?
Neighbourhood Watch is about people coming together to make their community safer. We can help prevent crime and anti-social behaviour in our neighbourhoods by looking out for each other and being vigilant.
One of the key benefits of joining BNW is access to the Online Watch Link (OWL). This secure communication system enables members to receive messages and alerts, crime prevention advice, and other community messages from their local team via email or phone.
