We are now organising the Annual Conference for St.Albans Neighourhood Watch.

Last year our first conference was a success beyond expectations.

It attracted an audience of over 150 people. The dedication and enthusiasm of our team delivered a hard act to follow.

Our goal this year is to create an event that will be remembered for successfully delivering a message that St.Albans Neighbourhood Watch and Hertfordshire Police are committed to reducing crime and disorder in our neighbourhood.

INTERNET SHOPPING ?

Always use secure websites, and this is indicated by a padlock icon at the bottom of the computer screen at the point of purchase.

For example, the site may not be 'secure' until you hit the 'buy' button and it transfers to the secure server.

Also, the website address will start with 'https' as oppposed to 'http'.

Always make sure that the retailer has a postal address and a landline telephone number, not just a mobile.

Do not assume the retailer is based in the UK just because the web address has UK in it
