Welcome to the Bognor Regis Neighbourhood Watch Association website

Neighbourhood Watch is the single largest voluntary organisation in the country. It is based around the idea of an active community working in partnership with the police and other agencies to make their neighbourhood safer.

There are over 250 active street schemes throughout the urban area of Bognor Regis, from Pagham to Middleton and Elmer, covering thousands of households. Each scheme is run by a Street Coordinator, who communicates relevant crime information to the scheme members, and feeds back information from members to the police.

Each ward has an Area Coordinator, who is the liaison point for individual schemes, and the link between Neighbourhood Watch and Sussex Police. The ward is also a police beat with a dedicated police officer and Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) who supports the schemes.

The Bognor Regis Association was set up in 1984 by Roy Gristwood. It gradually became one of the largest groups in the country, covering over 14,000 households. Accessibility by email has improved communications for those with PCs, but caused other schemes to fold. We are still a vital community resource, and are currently rebuilding our coverage.
