CRIME PREVENTION ADVICE

YOUR HOME
Most domestic burglaries are committed by ‘opportunist’ thieves, looking for the easiest way into your home without being seen or disturbed. The biggest deterrent to a household burglar is the occupancy or apparent occupancy. Light timers are a good idea to use in rooms that are the most commonly used when at home.

WINDOWS - Window locks that can be seen may prevent or deter a burglar from forcing the window.

BURGLAR ALARMS - An intruder alarm installed and used properly can deter burglars.

MAIN DOORS - All exterior wooden doors should be fitted with at least a five-lever mortise lock. However, locks are only as good as the door and frame, so make sure they are in good condition.

KEYS - Some burglaries and car thefts are committed after keys are hooked through letterboxes and windows. Remember to keep your keys in a safe place, out of sight and well away from doors and windows.

GOING ON HOLIDAY - Cancel any deliveries of newspapers or milk. If possible get a neighbour or friend to open and close curtains and remove mail out of sight. If you are going away please do not advertise this, especially on social networking sites such as Facebook.

PERIMETER SECURITY - Hedges or fences at the front of your home should be limited to 1 metre in height. At the rear, hedges, fences or walls should be 1.8 metres high. Gates should be the same height and padlocked. Consider placing a trellis along the top of your fence or plant prickly or thorny bushes, such as Berberis, Pyrocantha or Roses, alongside the fence.

LIGHTING – Consider fitting security lights. These can be floodlights controlled by passive infra-red (PIR) detectors that activate when they see movement. Low wattage lights controlled by ‘dusk to dawn’ sensors stay on all night and can cost as little as 1p per night in electricity.

GARDENS - Gardens should be clear of anything that the burglar might use to break into your home. Clear away gardening tools when you have finished. Move ladders, tables, chairs and wheelie bins, or chain and padlock them to a strong anchorage point. Security mark expensive items you leave in your garden.

GARDEN SHEDS AND GARAGES - Fit good quality, close-shackled padlocks to doors and keep them locked. Add reinforcements to doors and windows including grilles. Consider wiring a shed or garage to your house burglar alarm system.

VEHICLES - Please ensure that when vehicles are left unattended, doors are locked and all items of value are removed such as Sat Navs and holders. Try to get into the habit of wiping the windscreen where the holder has been.

GOOD NEIGHBOURING - If you see anyone acting suspiciously, call the police. Make a note of any vehicle registration numbers, the description of the person and the time. Contact CRIMESTOPPERS anonymously, on freephone 0800 555 111.
If you are ringing to report a crime, then please phone 101 and speak to the force control room. They will allocate your query appropriately. Please note that this is a new number.


LOCAL BEAT TEAM

Please complete the Neighbourhood Priority Surveys on a regular basis. The purpose of the surveys is to tell us of any concerns or problems you have in the area where you live, work or visit. This also enables you to make suggestions of ways in which we could tackle the issues effectively. The results of the surveys are analysed every three months, and from these we set priorities. YOUR priorities are OUR priorities. We focus our time in these areas to make improvements on what concerns you. We then repeat the process every three months, therefore keeping up to date with your issues.

If you require any of the surveys either for yourself, or to distribute to your friends, neighbours, or social activity groups, please make contact with us either by email, phone or text, or visit your local Police Station and we will be happy to provide you with as many as you require.

Police activity can also be viewed on the Nottinghamshire Police Force website.


ENGAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

The Local Beat Team have identified a number of engagement activities and these are posted on the website and in your local police station. If you are involved in a community event or a community group and you feel that the Local Beat Team could attend, then please contact us.

Finally, the Local Beat Team would like to remind all residents to report any problems or incidents to the Police, in order for us to be aware and tackle the issue.

If you are interested in setting up a Neighbourhood Watch, visit www.neighbourhoodwatch.net for more information or give the beat team a call.

Don’t forget that the Contact Point is manned whenever Adam, Kathy or I are in the Station each day we are on duty. It will also be open every Friday morning between 9am and 1pm by Rushcliffe Borough Council, and every Saturday morning between 10am and 12pm by local volunteers. Please make use of the service they will provide. All messages and details will be passed to me and dealt with accordingly.

If you wish to contact me, you can ring 101 ext 854 6273 for Keyworth, or the control room, where a message can be left.
