Junior Neighbourhood Watch in Walsall has really gone down well for the second full year with another 22 projects completed by the end of July involving 820 children in JNW activities.
That means that since we started in 2007 over a third of Primary schools in the borough have taken part some for the second and third year running as Leighswood the first school has. 46 JNW projects have been run in these schools involving over 1800 children with our Police Neighbourhood Teams are getting more involved. Officers get a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction meeting the children and helping them feel safer in the community and the children love meeting the police it is amazing how many fears are dealt with!
From my involvement in writing the project we started in Walsall during 2007 and sharing it now with 11 other Police Forces around the country I know JNW works and hopefully over time we will make a lot of our communities safer places to live and play in. Hopefully many of our young citizens will remember the lessons they had on off Neighbourhood Watch and Neighbourhood Police Teams and will become new and active Watch members passing on all the safety messages they have received onto their own family, friends and colleagues.
