What is Street Watch?
Street Watch are ordinary local residents of Four Marks who care about our village and want to promote good citizenship. We provide a visible reassurance to the wider community and a friendly face, always ready for a chat as we patrol around the village on a regular basis. Wearing high visibility jackets, we patrol in pairs to assist the local police in preventing crime and antisocial behaviour. The concept started in 2008 with a blaze of publicity and has been operating in Four Marks ever since, especially during the school run in the mornings. This voluntary organisation is fully supported by Hampshire Constabulary with a set of guidelines and code of conduct which has been approved as part of the wider Safer Neighbourhood Scheme. Please stop us and have a friendly chat as we walk around the village. All of our members are well informed about what is going on in Four Marks and will be happy to try and answer any questions you may have. We are also pleased to act as a conduit to the police, for relaying information about what you may consider to be trivial or time wasting matters. It all matters, if it is of concern to you then it is of concern to us. On occasions, small bits of information, collated together form a bigger picture which can be acted on by the police in making our streets ever safer.
