SMI NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEME
Local Crime Information

St Mary's Island (SMI) Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
SMIRA carried out a resident consultation in July 2020 on its island wide neighbourhood watch scheme proposals. The proposals included:
Sharing information
As part of its information sharing approach SMIRA will:
-
Register the whole island as one scheme
-
Act as the lead Neighbourhood Watch controller for the SMI scheme
-
Ask SMI Sector Representatives to act as information sharers about the new scheme
-
Create a new crime incident reporting form on the SMIRA website for SMI residents to share information about crime on SMI (this does not replace direct reporting of incidents to the police on 999 and 101)
-
Information received from the incident form will go directly to CMT and the PCSO
-
Create new website pages outlining ways to reduce crime on SMI as part of a neighbourhood watch scheme
-
Continue to utilise its existing residents meetings to discuss crime on the island
-
Provide residents with Neighbourhood Watch stickers to display in windows
-
Working with CMT ensure formal Neighbourhood Watch scheme signage is placed around the island
