About Schemelink
Schemelink is a UK-built platform that helps local watch schemes, councils and police partners share information quickly, securely and clearly. It started in 2006 and has grown into a single, practical system for day-to-day community safety work.
Established 2006 UK Watch Schemes Council & Police CollaborationOur Story in Simple Terms
From early Pubwatch/Shopwatch portals to one joined-up platform used across scheme types.
Schemelink began in June 2006 as separate services for Pubwatch and Shopwatch groups. As demand grew, the platform expanded to support more watch models and partner agencies.
The core aim has stayed the same: help local groups prevent crime and anti-social behaviour through better communication and better information handling.
Today Schemelink is a unified platform used by thousands of members and administrators across different watch schemes and operational environments.
Instead of switching between separate tools, groups can manage alerts, incidents, records, files and coordination in one place.
