Established in the Northern Territory in 1988, Neighbourhood Watch has proved to be the most effective community-based, crime prevention program available. The ultimate success of Neighbourhood Watch depends on a partnership approach between the community and the police.

Neighbourhood Watch NT manages and provides strategic leadership for the Northern Territory Neighbourhood Watch programs and formulates strategies & policies, in order to achieve the following objectives:

Contribute to the minimisation of the incidence of preventable crime
Expand Neighbourhood Watch's involvement in wider community safety and crime prevention initiatives
Reduce the fear of crime
Deter criminal activity by increasing the probability of apprehension
Increase the reporting of crime and suspicious activity
Improve the degree of personal and household security through education programs
Raise awareness of crime prevention strategies and resources
Promote active involvement in community safety and crime prevention

The Northern Territory Police, Fire and Emergency Services works in partnership with the community to build a strong and resilient Territory.

Through an active partnership with Crime Stoppers NT and in particular the promotion of the 1800 333 000 Crime Stoppers hotline, the public has a safe way to report suspected crime or criminal activity to Police while remaining anonymous. During 2015, calls to Crime Stoppers helped solve missing persons cases, identify and apprehend drug dealers, property offenders and other criminal offenders.
