Welcome to Hertfordshire Neighbourhood Watch

Awards
HertsWatch, the umbrella organisation for watch schemes in Hertforshire, received the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service. The accolade is the equivalent of an MBE for groups and charities.
Chair, Sue Thompson, said "We are delighted to receive the award. It reflects the incredible effort that many hundreds of volunteers, from street representatives to Ward Co-ordinators, have given to developing Neighbourhood Watch across the county."
Senior Watch
Please help to look after and inform our older residents in Hertfordshire by sharing valuable information and advice with them. Join Senior Watch to receive messages to share with your elderly relatives, neighbours and friends. You can help protect them from scams that target older people.
