Prince Edward County OPP are launching a new tool designed to help neighbourhood watch groups.
Neighbourhood Protect is a free web-based communication tool, which connects multiple neighbourhood watches through one central database.
Neighbourhood Protect is designed to need minimal effort by members. Members are encouraged to keep an eye out and report possible crimes to the service.
Additionally, it aids investigations by notifying neighbours with cameras when a crime occurs, prompting them to check their video footage for potential perpetrators or suspicious vehicles.
The website is free to use and all posts are anonymous. Only the police can see your contact information, in case they need to reach out to follow up on a report.
