What’s happening in Tasmania

Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania has announced some positive and affirmative action to support the residents and home owners of Primrose Sands.

State President, Jan Dunsby, recently advised that Neighbourhood Watch Tasmania will provide funding to enable up to six security cameras to be installed at strategic points across the town.

“Although there is not a designated Neighbourhood Watch in the area, we believe that supporting the community in this way proactively sends out a message that crimes of this type must be stopped in their tracks,” said Ms Dunsby.

“We have undertaken this support for the Primrose Sands community in consultation with Tasmania Police, with whom we have a partnership agreement. We are also working collaboratively with Crimestoppers Tasmania on strategies in this area.”

A donation of two street signs will complete our support in this area. There are also early discussions as to the formation of a Watch in the area as a result of our visit to the community.

As we go to print there has been one arrest, primarily as a result to information provided by the local community.

This involvement by NHWT attracted much media interest.
