BHNW

Is a partnership between all the families that live in our community, the South African Police Service (SAPS), the Community Policing Forum (CPF), Law enforcement Agencies, Local Authorities and Private Security Service Providers.

The aim of a neighbourhood watch is to encourage good relations among residents and to serve as a “watchdog” for our community, sometimes by patrolling, sometimes by simply being alert to criminal activity and notifying the police / owner when such occurs.

We are here to foster a caring attitude for one another in our community. A community where our children can play fearlessly in our parks and neighbours know one another by name. Together we can make a difference in this, our beautiful neighbourhood.

NB! We are a voluntary organisation, no member receives any form of payment for his/her services they do so because they believe it will curb crime in our community.

OUR AIM

Bracken Heights Neighbourhood Watch is a program used to help reduce crime in our community. It involves getting to know your neighbours and introducing them to the concept of Neighbourhood Watch. Neighbourhood Watch is simply good neighbours working together by keeping eyes open to signs of possible crime in their area so they can help to stop it before it starts.

Neighbourhood Watches Work! Throughout the country, dramatic decreases in burglary and related offences are reported by law enforcement professionals in communities with active Watch Programs. Each Neighbourhood Watch has an area with clear boundaries, within a police area. In Brackenfell we have four Sectors which is divided into different Neighbourhood Watch areas. We being within Sector 4.
