Discuss your plan with your neighbours and the local police. Your neighbours must agree to participate and support the Watch. Then, you and your neighbours need to appoint a coordinator(s) whose job is to get scheme members working together.
Coordinators and members regularly talk about crime and disorder problems in the neighbourhood and how to best tackle them. Coordinators also stay in close contact with the local police to share information and to seek advice. The role, although not overly demanding is important as a Watch coordinator may be the only way to reach the elderly and vulnerable people on their Watch.
