# Neighbourhood Watch Registration

Nothing in life is easy, and creating a neighbourhood watch is full of fun, fun requirements, especially in Cape Town.

The Western Cape requires that a neighbourhood watch is registered with the local Community Police Forum in our police area (Ocean View).

That in turn requires us to conform to the Western Cape's rules and requirements.\
&#x20;This is a rather long document available here - <http://deoudeweg.co.za/pdf/westen_cape_provincial_constitution_code_of_conduct_for_neighbourhood_watches.pdf>

**The bad news:** \
&#x20;We will need to conform to those requirements.

**The good news:**\
&#x20;Once we register, we can apply for free training, and potential funding.
