-The Neighbourhood Watch is a collection of people dedicated to keeping the peace. ​ More often than notthis takes the form of patrolling ​the last vestiges of human settlement, and making those who would disturb that peace regret it.  Their effectiveness is limited by their numbers and equipment, so they have yet to have that much of an impact. ​ That said, they are known for the zeal with which they carry out their duties; the last thing anyone wants is to find themselves on the wrong end of their suspicion.+- Gordon Jamesonfounder ​of the Neighbourhood Watch.
  
 +The Neighbourhood Watch is an independent collection of people dedicated to keeping the peace. ​ More often than not, this takes the form of patrolling the last vestiges of human settlement, and making those who would disturb that peace regret it.  While their main priority is to act as a deterrent to people, they have been known to take a stand against the local wildlife as well.  Their effectiveness is currently limited by their numbers and equipment, so they are forced to prioritise what they view as the biggest threats to peace and survival. ​ This means that it's not too hard to slip under their radar and a lot of disturbances go unpunished. ​ However, the zeal with which the Watch treat their work tends to mean that those they do take note of very quickly come to regret it.

 +It should be noted that while there are a number of medics in the watch, their main priority is field work, for which they are in high demand. ​ For this reason, the odds of a watch medic being on hand to treat civilian injuries is fairly low.
