FNWA's Watch Schemes

Neighbourhood Watch is not all that we have to offer. Different schemes are available, and just as for our flagship Watch, their purpose is to help people come together and promote a sense of community which can help in preventing and fighting crime as well as the fear of crime.

Our list on the left lets you see which watches are available, and you can click on the arrow next to each to get more information.

Alternatively, you can scroll through the entire page.

To get in touch about any of these watches, go to our Contact page.

If you are looking for information on OWL (the Online Watch Link) and how to join, we have a separate page here.

"Farm Watch" comes with many added benefits in addressing crime and making areas where we live and work safer. The aims of Farm Watch are:

* Reduce opportunities for crime and vandalism.

* Strengthen community spirit so that everyone plays their part in protecting their property.

* Improve two-way communication between farmers and the Police.

Flintshire Neighbourhood Watch Association and North Wales Police are encouraging Churches and neighbourhoods to unite together to play a key role in creating a safer environment for everyone. See also the National Churchwatch scheme.

Let yourself and your neighbours be the eyes and ears of your community, helping work with people of all ages to reduce crime, fear of crime and antisocial behaviour.

The aim of this watch is to prevent crime and disorder targeting schools and their neighbourhoods.

School Watch is a partnership of different agencies, purporting to share information efficiently to deal with issues arising in and around this type of premises.

If you care about your local school and the area surrounding it, why not set up, or join a watch?

Golfwatch was launched at Padeswood and Buckley Golf Club on Monday 23rd November 2009.

Golf watch was formed following a small spate of crimes at Golf Clubs earlier this year in Flintshire. Flintshire Neighbourhood Watch Association work closely with North Wales Police and the Community Safety Partnership to enable Flintshire to be a safer place for the residents, workers and visitors to the area.

Allan Ellis, Development Worker at Flintshire Neighbourhood Watch Association says ‘Golfwatch coordinators receive crime prevention information and a marker pen for marking their property. The participating Golf Clubs also have the benefits of OWL (Online Watch Link) alerts, all which help to keep them and their members one step ahead of the opportunist thief, such as resources to code and mark their property.’

OWL (Online Watch Link) is an effective way of getting messages relating to incidents or crimes in the area to coordinators, members and partner agencies. It also has a link to ‘fix my street’ and local amenities. Visit www.owl.co.uk.


Pc Hazel Goss MBE, Community Safety Officer said that Golfwatch was 'an excellent way of fighting crime and keeping in regular contact with the Golf Clubs warning them of potential crimes that maybe happening in other areas and across neighbouring borders'.

PS Ian Massie, Community Safety Sergeant Eastern Division declared: ‘North Wales Police are pleased to be working in partnership with Flintshire Neighbourhood Watch Association on this exciting initiative aimed at reducing thefts and other incidents within the golfing sector. The aim is to work closely with Golf Clubs and golfers, providing them with the information, education and materials they need to protect their property and prevent incidents occurring.’

Jackie Lee, Project Administrator, said: ‘Flintshire Neighbourhood Watch Association not only has Neighbourhood Watches, we also recognise the need to protect other types of premises for example Schoolwatch, Farmwatch, Shopwatch, Businesswatch and now Golfwatch. We are also looking forward to getting more Golf Clubs joining Golfwatch. If any Golf Club would like to start up a Golf Watch they should contact our office’.
