Pakenham Neighbourhood Watch : Safer Neighbourhoods

Neighnourhood Watch - Do's and Don'ts

DON’T:

  • Let strangers into your house
  • Fall for special offers that seem too good to be true (they probably are!)
  • Leave doors and windows open or unlocked when you can’t watch them
  • Leave valuables visible to the casual observer – particularly keys and cash - in the house or the car
  • Ever leave the car keys in the ignition of an unattended car – no matter how briefly
  • Give your personal details to casual enquirers

DO:

  • Be observant and aware – notice the odd, the strange or unusual
  • Report what you notice to the police immediately
  • Lock your cars if you are not in them or beside them
  • Postcode, UV mark, photograph and record details of all your valuables
  • Get to know who your neighbours are
  • Look after their interests when they go away – push mail through the letterbox properly, put their bin out for collection (put something in it if its empty)
  • Tell someone where you are going when you go out
