Neighborhood watch in Holm

Holm has neighborhood cooperation with contact persons around the various villages. It is a collaboration with the police and a method to prevent theft and crime to increase the well-being and security in our area. This means that we help each other to keep track of each other's houses, boats and other belongings while away. In addition, we have telephone chains between the contact persons in the various villages to be able to help the police arrest a thief or other criminal in the Holm area..

Important for a good neighborhood watch is:
– be vigilant.
– Talk to neighbors when to remove.
– Tag your belongings visible.
