INTRODUCTION TO NEIGHBOURHOOD SECURITY
The Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) is a special group of people who wear uniforms and help keep our community safe. They were created by the government in 2016 to work with the police and other groups to make sure that everyone follows the rules and stays safe. The LNSC helps the police by keeping an eye out for anything suspicious and reporting it to them. They also help to keep traffic moving smoothly and make sure that people are not causing problems in the community. Overall, the LNSC helps to make our neighborhood a better and safer place for everyone.
A neighborhood is a place where people live together as a community. It’s where we have our homes, schools, and parks. We share the neighborhood with our neighbors and we all help to make it a nice place to live. Think of it as a big family living together in the same area!
Security means that we are safe and protected from danger or harm. It’s important to feel secure in our neighborhood so that we can play outside, walk to school, and feel comfortable in our own homes. The Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC) helps to make sure that our neighborhood is secure by working with the police and keeping an eye out for anything that might be dangerous. They help to keep our neighborhood safe so that we can all enjoy living here.

MEANING OF NEIGHBOURHOOD SECURITY
Neighborhood security is a way of making sure that our neighborhood is safe for everyone. It’s like a big team of people working together to keep our community free from crime and danger. This team is made up of different groups like the police, the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC), and even our neighbors. Together, we all help to make our neighborhood a better and safer place to live.
Neighborhood security is also called community security. Community means all the people living in the same area. So, community security means that all the people living in the same area work together to keep it safe. This means that we all have a role to play in keeping our neighborhood safe. We can do this by watching out for suspicious activity, reporting crime and hazards, and being good neighbors.
It is important for us to have a safe neighborhood because it helps us to be able to play outside, walk to school, and feel comfortable in our own homes. So, let’s all work together to make our neighborhood a safer place for everyone to live.
Neighbourhood security is a community security that helps to protect the entire community from crime.
Neighbourhood security is also called community security.
What are the types of Neighbourhood security
When it comes to keeping our neighborhood safe, there are different ways to do it. These are called types of neighborhood security. Here are five common types:
- Gates: Some neighborhoods have gates that only people who live there can enter. This can help to keep strangers out, but it can also make it harder for friends and family to visit.
- Patrols: Some neighborhoods have people who walk or drive around to make sure everything is okay. These people are called patrols. They can help to keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it to the police.
- Traditional Security Cameras: These are cameras that are placed in different areas of the neighborhood to record what’s happening. They can help to catch criminals if something bad happens.
- Traditional LPR Camera: License Plate Recognition cameras are used to capture the license plate number of a vehicle and can be used to track the movement of a vehicle.
- Flock Safety: This is a type of neighborhood security that uses cameras and a special app to keep an eye on the neighborhood. The app can notify neighbors if something suspicious happens, and the cameras can record what’s happening.
It’s important to remember that every neighborhood is different and so it is important to find the type of security that best suits the community.
It is important for us to be aware of the different types of neighborhood security and how they can help to keep our community safe. It’s also important to work together with our neighbors, the police and the LNSC to make sure that our neighborhood is a safe place for everyone.

What is neighbourhood in security education
The neighbourhood is one’s immediate environment, surroundings or vicinity. Neighbourhood security is the protection of one’s environment in a community.
Neighborhood security education is when we learn about how to keep our neighborhood safe. This can include learning about different types of neighborhood security, like gates, patrols, and cameras. It can also include learning how to be aware of our surroundings and report suspicious activity to the police or the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC).
It’s important for us to learn about neighborhood security because it helps us to be more aware of what’s happening in our community and to take steps to keep ourselves and our neighbors safe. For example, if we learn about the different types of cameras that can be used for neighborhood security, we might be able to spot one if we see it in our neighborhood.
We can also learn about neighborhood security by talking to our parents, teachers, or the police. They can tell us about what we should do if we see something suspicious or if we feel unsafe. They can also tell us about what is happening in our neighborhood and how we can help to keep it safe.
Another important aspect of neighborhood security education is learning how to work together with our neighbors and the LNSC to make sure that our community is a safe place for everyone. This could include organizing a neighborhood watch group or volunteering to help with patrols.
MEANING OF NEIGHBOURHOOD SECURITY WATCH
Neighbourhood security watch is a group of security who watches over the neighborhood’s properties as a way of preventing crime.
A neighborhood security watch is a group of people who work together to keep their neighborhood safe. These people might be your neighbors, your parents, or other people who live in your community. They volunteer their time to keep an eye on things and make sure that everyone is safe.
The neighborhood security watch is like a team that helps to prevent crime in the community. They might do this by keeping an eye on things and reporting suspicious activity to the police or the Lagos Neighborhood Safety Corps (LNSC). They might also help to make sure that everyone in the neighborhood knows how to stay safe, like by reminding people to lock their doors at night.
Sometimes, the neighborhood security watch might also organize patrols, which is when people walk or drive around the neighborhood to make sure everything is okay. This can help to deter criminals from coming into the neighborhood because they know that someone might be watching.
Being a part of a neighborhood security watch is important because it helps to keep our community safe. When we work together with our neighbors, we can make sure that our neighborhood is a safe and happy place for everyone.
