The new national Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network (NHWN) have designed an built a new national website with enhanced communication systems and resources to support Neighbourhood Watch members throughout England and Wales. This website will raise the profile of NHW and highlight the value of Neighbourhood Watch volunteers.

The new website enables you to map your scheme and contact other Neighbourhood Watch Groups in your area to share information and ideas.

NHW representatives from the three Divisions attend this association which exists for the purpose of sharing information and good practice relating to NHW in Derbyshire. DNWAT aims to help increase the profile of and participation in Neighbourhood Watch across the County by developing links with community safety partner organisations and Safer Neighbourhood Teams.
