FUTURE ACTION

2.19

The Publicity Sub-Committee will continue to oversee the implementation of the "neighbourhood watch" scheme as a major part of the 1985/86 Prevent Crime Campaign designed to mobilise the public to protect themselves against burglaries in the homes and to promote good community relations. It will also continue to use the slogan "Police and the people fighting crime together" further to promote crime prevention.

2.20

For 1986/87, the Publicity Sub-Committee intends to introduce the second phase of the Neighbourhood Watch Scheme to cover more buildings. Studies are being undertaken to examine the need to promote other crime prevention matters and the

Sub-Committee will meet and consider new proposals in early 1986.
