ECops News
| Our News – 2 November |
| Bonfire Night is fast approaching. In my house, the loud bangs are not popular with either the kids or the animals. But for many others, the colour and spectacle are among the highlights of the season. This year, Diwali, the Festival of Lights, also falls on 8 November. Fireworks are sometimes used as part of those celebrations too. Whatever your plans, we can probably all agree that the key to a successful night is staying safe and being considerate. We’ve pulled together some of the official advice for you here. Other stories we’re sharing this month include: · Respect Orders are launched by the Home Office · Neighbourhood Watch volunteers share success stories with ministers and the media · Community spotlight on Newham and Operation ADDER Respect Orders launched People who behave anti-socially could be hit with tougher restrictions as new Respect Orders come into force across England and Wales, enabling police and councils to take stronger enforcement action. Courts can ban offenders from town centres or stop them drinking in public hotspots like high streets and local parks. They can hand out fines and community punishments, including curfews or hours of volunteering. People can also be ordered to do drug or alcohol programmes or anger management courses. Read the full story here. Neighbourhood Watch volunteers share success stories with ministers and the media Volunteers in Staffordshire and Hertfordshire have been speaking to the Policing Minister and the media about tackling antisocial behaviour at a local level. Angela Michell, a coordinator in Hemel Hempstead, joined Policing Minister Sarah Jones on a walkabout of the town centre, alongside David Taylor MP and senior police leaders from Hertfordshire Police’s Anti-Social Behaviour Team. Meanwhile, Geraint Lang, Association Lead and Chair of Staffs Watch, spoke to BBC Radio 5 Live about the success the organisation has achieved in Penkridge. You can listen to the interview here (scroll to 1.06). AlarmID – the gift of peace of mind Give something genuinely useful this Christmas. AlarmID is a portable tamper alarm that helps protect bags, laptops and suitcases wherever life takes you. Featuring fingerprint activation and a loud 100dB siren, it’s a thoughtful gift for students, commuters, travellers and loved ones whose safety and peace of mind matter most.

Deepfake Dialogues Our Cyberhood Ambassadors have been working with the Deep Truth Project, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to building public resilience against deepfakes and AI-driven misinformation. They work through educational outreach, empowering people to protect themselves and to maintain trust. They also have a podcast with some really interesting stories exploring all aspects of AI and deepfakes, listen on YouTube, Spotify or Apple. One in eight children don’t feel safe in their local areas Research shows that around 12% of children in England, or roughly one in eight, report feeling unsafe in their local areas. The data comes from a report recently published by the Children’s Commissioner Dame Rachel de Souza. The dataset brings together 162 measures of children’s lives to build a picture of what it is like to grow up in different areas. Read the report and the interactive data here. Nominations are open for the Kings Award for Voluntary Service Thousands of Neighbourhood Watch volunteers across England and Wales make a difference through their volunteering. The King’s Award for Voluntary Service (KAVS) was created to celebrate the contributions of local volunteer groups. Equivalent to an MBE, KAVS is the highest award given to local voluntary groups in the UK. Nominations will close on 1 December. Find out more here. Community spotlight: Newham Newham Neighbourhood Watch in London recently supported a collaboration between British Transport Police and the Metropolitan Police in East Ham. Together, they delivered action days for Operation ADDER (Addiction, Diversion, Disruption, Enforcement and Recovery), with high-visibility engagement around commercial hubs, transport locations and local parks to tackle drug dealing, anti-social behaviour and street crime.

Report Fraud alert: More than £86,000 stolen by fraudsters posing as Amazon [#785825768]
Report Fraud alert: More than £86,000 stolen by fraudsters posing as Amazon Criminals are impersonating Amazon and contacting customers out of the blue claiming suspicious activity has occurred on their account, new data shows. Over a nine day period, between 5-14 October 2026, criminals stole £86,837 from victims, a daily average of over £9,600 while purporting to be representatives from Amazon. Analysis of Report Fraud data identified an emerging trend in reporting which involves a victim being contacted by the criminal claiming to be from Amazon who informs them of alleged suspicious activity on their Amazon account. The criminals then claim that unauthorised items have been added to the victim’s Amazon basket. To make the fraud appear genuine, they provide delivery addresses that do not belong to the victim and claim that someone is attempting to purchase the items using the victim’s bank details. The criminal then tells the victim that the transactions can be stopped and their account secured, but only if they follow specific instructions including: · Victims asked to share their screen through messaging platforms as part of a resolution process and download money transfer apps. Criminals then use these apps to move money into accounts they control. · Victims told to provide legitimate documents, such as a passport or driving licence, for “verification” purposes. Criminals use this information to facilitate the fraud and transfer money. · Victims persuaded to download remote access software, allowing criminals to take control of the device and carry out transactions on the victim’s behalf to steal funds without their knowledge. · Victims are told that gift cards have been added to their Amazon basket without permission. Criminals then claim urgent action is needed to stop the purchases and trick victims into authorising payments, which are instead sent to accounts under the criminals’ control. How to protect yourself? Remember that genuine service providers, banks and the police will never call asking you to transfer money, share personal financial details or hand over remote control of your computer, phone or other device.

ECops – Postathon
| Want a glimpse inside our force control room?… |
| Our annual “Postathon” is set to return tomorrow (29 October) as part of International Control Room Week. The event will offer you an insight into the pressures faced by control room staff who deal, on average, with 1164 calls, 78 web chats and 436 incidents every day. We will use the event to shine a spotlight on the often-hidden work of call handlers, dispatchers, and IMU operators who work from the force control room – described as “the beating heart” of policing operations. In previous years, social media users have shared their thoughts on the Postathon, with one saying, “these updates are an amazing insight into life in the control room”, and another describing the Postathon as “absolutely incredible”. Another user said: “I don’t think it’s recognised how many emergency calls just one police force gets in half an hour! Thank you to all emergency call handlers”. Superintendent Nick Church, head of demand, said: “When someone contacts us for help, it is a member of our control room team who is there at the other end of the phone. “They deal with an incredible variety of situations, often supporting people at some of the most difficult moments of their lives, while ensuring our officers have all the information they need to respond. “The Postathon gives people a rare glimpse into this vital work, and Control Room Week is a great opportunity to say a huge thank you to the dedicated team of control room staff working around the clock to help keep Cambridgeshire safe. “I want to thank everyone working behind the scenes for the professionalism, resilience and dedication they show, day in, day out. The role they play in keeping our communities safe should not be underestimated.” To follow the Postathon, visit @CambsCops on Facebook and Instagram, where updates will be shared every 30 minutes between 2pm and 8pm on 29 October. If you think you could be the calm voice on the end of the 999 phone line, the force is currently recruiting for control room staff, with opportunities for both call handlers and dispatchers. To find out more or to apply, visit the force’s website. |

Neighbourhood Watch News – 19th October 2026
Our News – 19 October 2026 Hello Neighbours, Love it or loathe it, Halloween is coming. Personally, I love it, and was delighted one of our members created a Halloween logo for us. But it can be stressful for many people and pets, for a number of reasons. We’ve got some practical guidance to help everyone have a happy and safe Halloween. Find out more here. Highlights this edition:· Congratulations to our brilliant volunteer award winners · Apply for our latest round of community grants · Catch up on the annual Neighbourhood Watch volunteer conference · Admiral Insurance is partnering with Cyberhood Watch to help tackle scams Neighbourhood Watch annual volunteers conference Last week, we hosted our annual conference for Neighbourhood Watch coordinators and volunteers. Nearly three hundred people joined us online for sessions on police reform, volunteering, home security, fundraising, community events, as well as workshops on social media, funding and growing your scheme. If you missed it, don’t worry, we’ve got recordings of most of the sessions on our website here. The remaining videos will be available soon. Congratulations to our amazing Volunteer Recognition Award winners! It is so important to us to celebrate the great, often unique, work that our volunteers do. These awards, sponsored by ERA, recognise the people making a real change in their communities. Huge congratulations to Andrew Burton in West Yorkshire, Mary Irons in Sussex, Louise Barton in Staffordshire, Michael Ashurst-Wheeler in London, and the Trelewis and Bedlinog District NW Scheme in South Wales. Find out more here. Apply for this round of Community Grants Neighbourhood Watch volunteers dedicate time, skills and experience to building safer, more connected communities. Our Community Grants programme helps cover costs such as materials, travel and project expenses. This year, our volunteers with a registered scheme can apply for a £75 voucher to extend their reach or up to £500 for a new community activity. Find out more here. Admiral Insurance partners with Cyberhood Watch to tackle scams Research shows that 42% of UK adults have been targeted by an insurance-related scam, most commonly involving car insurance. This year, Admiral Insurance has identified 564 bogus internet adverts from fraudulent companies pretending to be Admiral, a 162% increase on 2025. In response, Admiral is partnering with Cyberhood Watch to launch a dedicated training programme to help people understand how insurance scams are evolving, how to protect themselves and how to report suspected fraud. Read the full story here. Free bystander training available in central London People who live and work in Belgravia and Mayfair in London are being invited to take part in free bystander intervention training designed to help create safer, more connected communities. Funded by Grosvenor, the training is available to residents, workers, businesses and community members in the area. Find out more here. Local spotlight: Meon Valley Neighbourhood Watch With over a thousand followers on Facebook, it’s safe to say there’s a lot going on in Meon Valley. One of our more rural schemes, geographically it’s in Hampshire, but the reach extends from Twyford in the west to Denmead in the east and Whiteley in the south. They share a host of useful information and events, with a particular focus on issues such as ASB, fraud, and road and vehicle safety, as well as local campaigns on noisy exhausts and rural crime. If you are based in the area, give them a follow here. The Neighbourhood Watch shop No, it’s not a shop that sells watches, it’s our online shop. People love our window stickers and signs, but did you know you can also get Neighbourhood Watch pin badges, T-shirts, tote bags, security products, bouquets and more! If you have a friend, neighbour or volunteer in the street, these might be a nice way to say thank you. Check out the Neighbourhood Watch shop here. Join the Neighbourhood Watch lottery! Playing a charity lottery is a low-cost way to support a good cause while also having the chance to win up to £25,000 a week. Tickets cost just £1 and one of our supporters is guaranteed a prize of at least £175 every week. The lottery generates income for our core work and volunteer network across England and Wales. These funds enable us to do more as a charity: support our members, build projects and make more of an impact on crime prevention and community wellbeing. Support the Neighbourhood Watch lottery here. And finally, did you know… Which local crime prevention scheme began in the UK in the Cheshire village of Mollington in 1982? Here’s a clue: it wasn’t Crimestoppers! That is all for this edition – thank you for reading. There is a version of the newsletter on our website here. |
