‘School Watch’ has been developed by the Policing Board, PSNI and the Northern Ireland Office Community Safety Unit. It urges pupils, parents and local residents to look out for and report any suspicious activity around school grounds, particularly during evenings, weekends, and summer holidays, when schools are often the scene of vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
The objective of School Watch is to appeal to local communities to help schools save money which is being wasted repairing damage caused by vandalism. The public are being asked to contact police if they see anyone acting suspiciously on school property outside normal school hours and particularly during school holidays.
School Watch posters are available to schools across all 8 District Command Units. The posters will be displayed in the vicinity of the school, encouraging the public to contact the police to report suspicious activity. School Watch Leaflets are also available and will be distributed to pupils, parents and residents living close to school grounds.
