Merton Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) is a community run scheme, supported by the Police, which helps cut crime and incidences of anti-social behaviour.

Neighbourhood Watch works by developing closer links between households in a neighbourhood and the local Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams.

Living in a Neighbourhood Watch area can reduce crime and the fear of crime by improved home security, greater vigilance, accurate reporting of suspicious incidents to the Police and by fostering a community spirit.
