How much will it cost to become a member of this Neighbourhood Watch?

There is no membership fee payable. However, as a Non Profitable organization, we rely on sponsorships and donations to cover our cost.

Do I have to do patrols as a member of the Neighbourhood Watch?

We got two types of membership: Patrol Members or Ordinary Members (the options are available on the online membership application).

The following two sections on our website will give you a better understanding of our structures – see “Who is PHSNHW” and the “Constitution”.

Yes you may as long as the child is 18 years or older.

To prevent people, with a criminal history, becoming members of Neighbourhood Watch’s.
