Welcome to Bedfordshire School Watch.

School Watch is a Ringmaster scheme aimed at providing staff with information relating to crimes affecting school buildings, visitor’s vehicles, and the personal safety of pupils.

Members of the scheme will receive messages about crime affecting schools in the Bedfordshire area. The message will include information about the date and time of the offence, as well as any property that may have been stolen or damaged, and descriptions of any possible suspects. The messages will also contain any Crime Reduction advice relevant to the nature of the crime.

Messages can be sent as an email, or a pre recorded voice message to a landline.

Members of School Watch are invited to forward the information in the messages onto members of staff, and pupils as they see fit.

Schools will also receive information about any new initiatives, events and schemes aimed at cutting crime, like property marking.

In some cases School Watch messages will also be given to local residents, asking for any information that may be related to the crime, and asking local residents to report suspicious activity in and around school property.

If you have any questions about the service please email ringmaster@bedfordshire.pnn.police.uk
