Waterlooville and District Neighbourhood Watch Association
Waterlooville and District Neighbourhood Watch Association is the umbrella organisation linking some 250 street-level Neighbourhood Watch Schemes in the area policed by Hampshire Constabulary from Waterlooville Police Station (with the exception of those schemes in Rowlands Castle which, for historic reasons, continue their affiliation to the separate Havant Neighbourhood Watch Association). These Schemes cover approximately 5000 households.
An Annual General Meeting is held in May of each year, to which all Scheme Coordinators are invited. This meeting receives the Chairman's and Treasurer's reports and elects officials for the year ahead and also aims to invite some interesting guest speakers.
The association is affiliated to the Hampshire Neighbourhood Watch Association.
