Farmwatch Smartwater Initiative

It is important that the local community and the Police work together in partnership to prevent and detect crime.

Farmwatch is similar to Neighbourhood Watch but its members do not have to pass on messages to members of the public.

For further information click here.

Or alternatively contact your local development officer.

Smartwater is designed for the protection of general domestic items and commercial assets, such as IT & audio/visual equipment, power tools. It is also perfect for industrial equipment including quad bikes and agricultural equipment. Its unique forensic fingerprint is almost invisible to the naked eye, fluoresces under ultraviolet light, and is virtually impossible to completely remove. Cumbria Police are working in partnership with Cumbria Neighbourhood Watch Association.

Trespass Project

The problem of uninvited visitors to agricultural land, whose presence often leads to the loss of property, is increasingly causing annoyance to the farming community. Cumbria Neighbourhood Watch Association and Cumbria Police are currently developing a possible response to help combat this problem.

Further information will be available after the research phase has been completed.

 
"The vision of CNWA is that Cumbria will be an even safer place in which to live and work."
