Barry Taylor, chairman of the Forum, said: "Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators in Torrington town and rural areas play a vital part in crime prevention across Torridge. We remind local residents that, although the district of Torridge is one of the safest parts of England, we want to keep it that way.
"One of the ways that ordinary residents can contribute is by becoming a Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator. Co-ordinators and their members, who are also their neighbours, are kept in touch with the local police about local crime trends, receive free leaflets of advise on Crime Prevention and have the support of the local Neighbourhood Watch Forum. I urge all those who care for their community to join us."
