Neighbourhood Watch does stuff to promote good community relations. Having a pleasant cuppa with local cops delivers this objective every time. Please take pride in organising and attending these events because it is important stuff that always makes a difference.

Get Online Week Events

Get Online Week (GOLW) runs from 16 – 22 October 23. Every year we host events for older community members for fun and information about doing stuff safely online. Our Key Dates has the list of GOLW events – look for one near you to attend and support your local coordinator.

Crimestoppers - your tips add up

Wondering if it’s worth contacting Crime Stoppers with information on crime and suspicious activity? The answer is YES.

Wondering if it’s worth contacting Crime Stoppers with information on crime and suspicious activity? The answer is YES. For the first half of 2023 most tips that Crime Stoppers Tasmania has passed to Tasmania Police have been about illicit drugs, followed by traffic, wanted persons, theft and firearms. But the community also send through information about many other crimes too. It’s quick and easy to give information on the website - which can be done anonymously.

When you contact Crime Stoppers, they’ll never know it was you. And always tick Neighbourhood Watch when asked; What prompted you to make this tip? www.crimestopperstas.com.au.
