Estonia’s Internal Security Development Plan 2015-2020
The Internal Security Development Plan is regulating the co-operation between the state and the ENHW. Starting from 2008 the Estonian Ministry of Interior is involving different partners into the process of putting together the development plan and our co-operation and input has increased every year.

Neighbourhood Watch Spirit
Neighbourhood watch (NW) schemes exist in many European countries on a national, regional, and local level. They are usually privately-organized associations or groups. Some of them are large nation-wide organizations with a network of local chapters serving hundreds of thousands or even millions of households, others are local groups serving only a few hundred citizens.
Why a new website?

Finally, Italian hospitality was the key to bring us together in excellent atmosphere.

Prevent conflicts and prejudices between neighbours
Prejudices between neighbours could prevent the creation of new Neighbourhood Watch groups and weaken the functioning of existing ones, in addition to impacting, in a broader sense, the entire community.
