There are 534 Vehicle Watch members on the Enfield Division and each display one or other of the following stickers on their car (front and rear screens)

Membership of Vehicle Watch can help keep your car or van safe when you are not normally using it, and membership is free.

All you need to do is register with your local Metropolitan Police station and they will issue you with two Vehicle Watch Stickers which are displayed on the windscreen and rear window of your car or van.

The colour of the sticker shows which scheme you are in i.e. orange for day time (10am - 4.30pm) or yellow for night time (12.30am - 5am).

A police officer who sees a vehicle being driven during the day (10am - 4.30pm) displaying the orange Vehicle Watch Sticker will know that it should not be on the road and will endeavour to stop the vehicle and question the occupant.

If it is not being driven by the lawful owner or with his or her authority the police will take the appropriate action. Exactly the same principles apply to the night time scheme.

Many of the police stations in the Metropolitan Police Area are participating in the scheme. Simply call in at your local police station or local agent. It costs nothing only a few minutes of your time.

Simply complete a membership form giving name and address and details of your vehicle.

Having read the form you will be asked to sign it to say you understand the purpose of Vehicle Watch. You will be asked to prove ownership of the vehicle by, for example, producing the Vehicle Registration Document.

After joining in the scheme the police officer, or an agent acting on behalf of your local police, will fix the appropriate Vehicle Watch sticker in the front and rear windows. Be careful to avoid heated window elements as damage could be caused on removal of the sticker. Also, the sticker in the front windscreen should be clear of the area covered by the wipers.

You will be given a copy of the membership from and the police will keep the original to assist with the administration of the scheme.

It is important that the stickers are removed from the vehicle when you sell or dispose of it and you should notify your local police of the change.

Under no circumstances will information contained on the membership form, other than details already recorded at the Driver Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) Swansea, be converted into computer data.
