Join your village

Three things, then you are in. Home, alerts and your street come later, on the map.

Your village

Choose your village to join it

Alerts that respect youHear about what happens near you — you choose how close, and how serious, before anything pings.
Report in under a minuteSay what you saw in your own words. Names, number plates and faces are taken out before neighbours read it.
The village mapEvery published report on one map, coloured by how serious it was.

What we do not ask for

Your address — your coordinator may ask which street, later, to verify you.
Your phone number.
Where your house is. Alerts can measure from home if you want them to — that is optional, asked once on the map, and moved about 75 metres before it is kept.

In an emergency, always call 999. VillageWatch is not monitored around the clock.
