Big Day Out at Bunnings

The launch was held at the Bunnings Warehouse at Derwent Park where the Neighbourhood Watch trailer was on display to provide information for Bunnings customers.

 

The new 2007 Neighbourhood Watch calendar was also available and it was difficult to keep up with demand!

Additional funding is being gratefully received from Tasmania Government, Australian Paper, CGU Insurance and Metro.

 

 

NHW brochureThe new full colour brochure introduces Neighbourhood Watch to those who may not know of the benefits of being involved. It answers the questions "What and Where is Neighbourhood Watch?", "Why is it needed?", "How does it Start?" and "What is involved?". The key message from the brochure is that Neighbourhood Watch depends on a commitment of co-operation between the community and Police but more importantly between neighbours themselves.

 

 

 

The new Neighbourhood Watch hotline number is 1300 139 138 and can be used to contact Community Policing Officers in your local area.
