Eye on crime

Peter Bannan

A Facebook page that enables Swan Hill residents to engage with their local police has been launched. 

The Swan Hill Eyewatch page is the 27th page to be launched, with the community encouraged to get involved and interact via the page.

More than 1600 people have liked the page since it launched on Wednesday. 

Eyewatch is a platform that allows police to share updates and videos about crime and other community safety initiatives via the social media phenomenon. 

Currently there’s about 226,000 followers across 26 Eyewatch pages.
