Crime Prevention

Local communication networks link all the scheme members via a broadcast group. Should any member of the scheme suspect criminal activity or intent, they can warn the other scheme members, triggering the appropriate response.

Messages can be sent from an online account, the PageOne call centre or a mobile phone. One message results in all members within the scheme receiving the message simultaneously. There are no hard and fast rules on how a scheme is set-up. Each group can establish its own procedures and appoint or elect its own officers.

The benefits include fast, effective communication, encouraging community participation to improve safety and peace of mind. Most of all, it’s an affordable solution – fixed monthly charges help PageOne watch schemes meet budget requirements.
