Northwards Wardens

Aims and objectives

The Northwards Wardens service aims to increase community confidence, create a better environment and improve residents' quality of life.

We do this by reporting crime and disorder incidents: like burglary, drug dealing, car crime, youth nuisance, anti-social behaviour and hate crime. Our highly visible presence helps stop some lower level crime happening in the first place. We report environmental and estate management problems, and make sure action is taken.

Our objectives are to:
  • cut crime - including burglaries, youth nuisance, anti-social behaviour and hate crime
  • reduce residents' fear of crime and increase their confidence in the ability of official agencies to help
  • support victims of crime and vulnerable members of the community
  • report all crime and disorder incidents and environmental problems
  • improve the reporting of racially motivated crime and other hate crime
  • be the 'eyes and ears' of the community through vehicle, cycle and foot patrols in residential areas.
