Country Eye

Promoting rural safety

Country Eye is a partnership between the rural community, Kent Police and Neighbourhood Watch.

The aim of the partnership is to help reduce crime and the fear of crime by involving all members of the community and protecting those who are most vulnerable.

Membership is open to individuals, businesses or community organisations.

Country Eye is administered locally in each of the six Kent Police areas by the local Neighbourhood Watch liaison officers. They are supported by volunteers. Information is circulated daily to all participating groups.

Joint working

The police cannot work in isolation. Country Eye promotes the sharing of information and the gathering of crime-related intelligence.

This is achieved by using modern communication methods and the co-operation of Country Eye's many rural partners.

These include: 

• landowners
• parish councils
• libraries
• schools
• river and waterway organisations
• horse watch
• wildlife organisations
• post offices
• local businesses
• rural churches
