Neighbourhood or Home Watch


Each of us has a vital role to play by becoming actively involved in crime prevention. We the Residents of Puteri 12 possess a much specialised knowledge of our neighbourhood which even our local police may find hard to achieve.

A police officer might not recognise someone in your garden as a stranger but your neighbour might. It is this kind of awareness and willingness to help that is the basis of neighbourhood watch or home watch.

By letting our security guards or the police know of anything suspicious you see or hear, you are helping to reduce the opportunities for crime to occur and more difficult for criminals, and more likely that crime can be reduced.

Quite recently, two different houses in our neighbourhood were robbed. Both robberies happened during the daylight hours and we believe that both robberies were done by the same person or group because both break-ins were similar.

When a house is burgled it is more likely to be burgled again than a house that has not been. If it does happen it is likely to be within the next few weeks. After all, a burglar has been into the home found the weak points in its security and had a good look at the contents and layout. So stepping up the security of a home straight away can prevent a further crime.

Even with our security guards patrolling our neighbourhood, we as a community of Puteri 12 should work together to watch over our neighbourhood and help to look out for any suspicious activity in our area. We should keep an eye on strange vehicles moving around our neighbourhood or suspicious strangers and if you suspect such activities, you have to respond fast by informing our security guards to investigate or if you are sure that a crime is taking place, call the police. When suspecting criminal activities, you are encouraged not to intervene but to contact authorities.

By being a good neighbour and keeping an eye out for anything suspicious you can help to make our community more secure. These are some of the things you should report:
  1. Strangers knocking on front doors or peering through windows and then disappearing round the back, or loitering suspiciously.
  2. Strangers hanging around our neighbourhood, playing fields etc and approaching children.
  3. Strange unrecognised vehicles moving about or hanging around our neighbourhood.
  4. Open windows in houses where the owners are out or on holiday.
  5. Strangers trying car doors.
  6. Anything that you believe is suspicious.
Details are important – whenever you pass on information, remember that accurate descriptions of suspicious people and vehicles will save time and confusion. These are the information our security guards and the police may need:
  • An exact description of what you have seen
  • The time
  • The place
  • The person(s) involved: approximate age, sex, colour, height, build, unusal characteristics, clothing worn, and any other distinguishing features
  • The vehicles involved: registration number (even part of this number might help), make and model (if known), colour, condition and direction of travel

鄰居的守望相助防犯犯罪醒觉运动

我們每個人都有一個重要的角色,發揮積極地參與防防犯罪。Puteri12居民擁有專業知識认应识附近的街坊,警察是難以分判盗贼或小偷。

一名警方人員不可能認識盗贼或小偷在你的花園里,但鄰居認的。這種類型的認識並願意无条件的幫助,只有鄰居能守望相助往家裡觀看。

你們看到任何可疑或聽到屋顶有走路声请通知我們的保安人員或警察,无形中你們是在幫助減少犯罪的發生。

最近,兩個不同的房屋在我們附近被劫。劫案發生在兩個小時的白天,我們相信幹案的歹徒是同一人或一个組织,因为他们的幹案手法闖入都很相似。

當一個房屋被劫后,盗贼或小偷很大机会会再打劫同一间房屋而不会打劫其他的屋子。畢竟,一個小偷已經知道薄弱的保安系统和一個摩登外观装修的化費,很可能將在未來數星期又再次被打劫,因此,我们的家应加強保安全以防止進一步被劫。

即使我們的保安人員巡邏我們的家,我們也应為这個Puteri12社區共同出钱出力,幫忙監視我們的鄰居和有互助的精神,密切留意任何可疑的陌生人在我們地區活動。我們應該時刻留意陌生的車輛徘徊在我們的地區或可疑的陌生人,如果你懷疑這些活動,你必須迅速作出反應,通知我們的保安人員進行調查,或者如果您確信犯罪正在發生,通知警方。當懷疑犯罪活動,建議您不要干預,向當局聯絡。

Puteri 12 RA和成員打造一個舒適安全的社區,并有很好邻居幫忙監視密切留意任何可疑陌生人,以下都是一些事情你應該注意:
  1. 陌生人敲前門窗戶或門外張望,然後消失,或遊蕩,形跡可疑。
  2. 陌生人徘徊我們的鄰里,運動場等,並接近兒童。
  3. 陌生人的車輛在周圍徘徊。
  4. 窗口被打開中,但房屋業主或出外度假。
  5. 陌生人試圖打開車門。
  6. 凡是你認為是可疑的。
重点 - 當你傳达的信息,請記住,準確描述可疑的陌生人和車輛的車牌號码,顏色將節省很多時間。我們的論点是保安人員和警方可能需要以下的情報:
  • 準確的描述你所看到的
  • 時間
  • 地点
  • 涉及的人:大致年齡,性別,膚色,身高,身材,此項特殊的特點,衣物磨損,以及任何其他特色
  • 涉及的車輛:註冊號碼(此號碼的一部分,甚至可能幫助),品牌和型號(如已知),顏色,形狀和逃走的方向
