HertsWatch was formed following a review of NHW carried out by the Police Authority, which recommended far better support for NHW from the Police. A Project Manager, former Supt. Mark Custerson and then a Project Officer, David Aylett, were employed to review and improve matters. A working group was formed out of which a document came, “NHW Into the Future”. This details 5 key recommendations and details a structure for NHW in Herts.

Hertfordshire Constabulary employ Watch Liaison Officers to help manage Neighbourhood Watch Schemes for districts and boroughs. They meet regularly with their local Neighbourhood Teams and Neighbourhood Watch Community Co-ordinators to ensure that information is shared to help fight crime. The WLO for St.Albans & District is Stella Brimblecombe 01727 796087.

Those residential areas which have a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme consistently prove to have fewer burglaries. A recent British Crime Survey showed that crime fell by up to 64% in areas where schemes had been established.
