The question of whether King's Bromley has a community watch scheme is one that requires careful consideration of available data. Currently, our records do not indicate the existence of a formally registered or publicly advertised community watch scheme operating within the village of King's Bromley, which is classified as a Built-Up Area (BUA) within the Lichfield district.
However, the broader picture painted by the available statistics is reassuring. King's Bromley has a relatively low crime rate of 42.7 incidents per 1,000 residents. This is significantly lower than the UK national average of 91.6 incidents per 1,000 residents. Furthermore, the village boasts a commendable safety score of 88 out of 100, exceeding the UK average of 79. This high safety score suggests a generally safe environment and a strong sense of community, which are often foundational elements for successful community watch schemes.
It's important to note that the absence of a formal scheme doesn’t necessarily indicate a lack of community vigilance. Informal neighbourhood watch practices, proactive communication between residents, and strong relationships with local law enforcement can all contribute to a safe environment. The high safety score likely reflects a combination of these factors.
While a formal scheme isn't currently documented, residents interested in bolstering community safety could consider exploring options such as forming a neighbourhood watch group, engaging with local police through community policing initiatives, or participating in local forums to discuss safety concerns. It is always advisable to report any suspicious activity to the police, regardless of whether a formal scheme exists.
