To promote good citizenship and greater public participation in the prevention and solution of crime so that effective liaison between the police and public can be achieved in order to promote the efficiency of the police in the City of Nottingham.

Street signs and door stickers to ward off criminals

Reasons for Police to invest in systems such as Ringmaster and Neighbourhood Alert which provide up-to-date information on crime and measures to combat it
