New partnership between Neighbourhood Watch and ACT Policing

CLARE McGRATH

Welcome, Detective Station Sergeant Jason Kennedy Detective Station Sergeant Jason Kennedy has recently been appointed as the Officer in Charge of the newly formed Community Safety Team in ACT Policing.

Jason has been an operational police officer in the ACT for more than 20 years and brings a wealth of knowledge and ideas to improve community safety in the ACT. Jason recognises that Neighbourhood Watch is a key partner of ACT Policing, and instrumental to a number of community safety strategies.

A new partnership has now been forged between Neighbourhood Watch and ACT Policing, and Jason has been appointed to the Neighbourhood Watch Australasia Board.

Jason will be a regular attendee at our community activities and Area Coordinator/Board meetings.

Parties at the Shops ACTNHW has been partaking in a community event called “Parties at the Shops”. This event is at local shopping centres and is a great opportunity to inform the local community about NHW. They have been very successful and have gained a number of new members.

Parties at the Shops was developed for the Centenary of Canberra in 2013 and celebrates the national capital’s unique suburban shop clusters.

Website update The website for ACTNHW is being updated and it will now include links to ACT Policing, Crime Stoppers and NHWA.
