The Neighbourhood Watch podcast is hosted by Alfie Moore, a former police officer turned award-winning comedian. Rather than another 'true crime' podcast, the aim is to draw on real and very relatable experiences. The show explores what it is like growing up in different neighbourhoods, discusses different types of crime, and empowers listeners with practical advice.

John Hayward-Cripps, Chief Executive of Neighbourhood Watch, said: "As a charity our aim is to build communities and reduce crime, this podcast is an entertaining way to deliver serious messages to new audiences. Almost everyone has been a victims of crime at some time, it can be traumatic but it's also quite universal. The conversations are fascinating, insightful and span the spectrum of human emotion. We hope the show will help our members and many more people to feel part of our community."
