Neighbourhood Watch messaging
Welcome to OWL for Neighbourhood Watch & Business Watch Schemes

OWL is an advanced solution for police & communities to utilise the potential of Neighbourhood Watch, School Watch, Business Watch and many other watch schemes. OWL provides the latest messages and crime alerts along with management tools for starting and maintaining watches.

Please log in if you have been sent a password. If you are already in a watch and live in Hertfordshire or Staffordshire but don't have a password please use the Watch Finder tool to contact your local coordinator and ask for a password. Please consult with your local police force if you would like to use OWL to manage your watch schemes & send messages to members in your county or district.

Find your Neighbourhood Watch
Finding Your Neighbourhood Watch

To find out if you are in a Neighbourhood Watch scheme in Hertfordshire or Staffordshire, or if you want to start up a new watch, use the Watch Finder tool. It will ask for your postcode to find the nearest active watch to your location. OWL is available for other UK police forces to support residential & business watches.

Making Neighbourhood Watch and your messages secure
OWL Security

Once you have logged in to OWL all personal and Neighbourhood Watch data sent to or from your computer will be securely encrypted over the Internet. Please keep your OWL password a secret and never disclose it to anyone, even if someone claims to be an official from the police or OWL.
