Municipality (Gemeente)
Most municipalities in the Netherlands embrace the various initiatives that their residents develop to improve safety and quality of life in the neighborhood. A number of municipalities have decided to leave the citizens’ initiative entirely with the citizen, but the majority wish to support the initiatives, although it sometimes takes a while to find the best way to facilitate the groups without the responsibility for the groups falling with the municipality itself. to lay down. Within the vision of Buurtpreventie Caantje, the neighborhood watch remains a citizens’ initiative, in which the residents themselves are in control and the municipality has a supporting role.
