Our Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch Rules of Engagement

 

In order to streamline and organize the groups' communications, Google Groups is used.

 

​

Google Groups provides a variety of features:

​

• Validate members before they join, this increases the security and trustworthiness of the  communications

• Archive of all postings

• It's relatively easy to communicate with the group

• Conversations are threaded and searchable

• The system can send members a notification each time a new message is posted to the group, or this setting can be configured to receive less frequent digests

• Provides members with a platform to discuss crime prevention, notify other members of an incident, suspicious activity and neighbourhood events.

• All groups are private

• Create a group name ( Highpark Neighbourhood Watch, Junction Triangle Neighbourhood watch) 

• Login is not to be shared

• No advertising

• No promoting of social events unless the event relates to discussing safety, crime prevention

• Validate with TPS or Police Liaison if unsure of legitimacy of information

• Posts must be factual

• Manager of the group must meet all new members or know them personally 

• To Promote safety, awareness and help police as citizens

• Do not interfere with any police investigations

• Do not post publicly any information about any evidence

• Do not take the law into your own hands - Group moderator will liaise with police

• Keep all victims a priority -before posting double check facts and their permission
