Hertswatch Executive Committee
HertsWatch represents the

from Hertfordshire Constabulary and the Police Authority,

together with a senior Safer Neighbourhoods Police Officer,
the Herts NHW Project Manager and Officer and one or
more members of the Police Authority. The committee
is Chaired by a CCO elected by the committee. For 2009/2010,
this is Keith Batchelor (East Herts), with Arthur Howard
(Stevenage) as Vice Chair. Ian Colpitts (Welwyn Hatfield)
is Treasurer and Sue Thompson (Three Rivers) is Secretary.
Peter Yexley is website and publicity administrator.

party made up of co-opted NHW members from across the
county, senior police officers and NHW project management.
