Members of your local Neighbourhood Policing Teams can now help you with crime prevention advice, after having completed a one-day training course in a move to improve the level of service the Force provides.
Neighbourhood team receiving crime prevention training
A total of 150 Sergeants, Constables and Police Community Support Officers took part in one of four training days held at Force Headquarters in June.
All aspects of crime prevention were covered, from basic principles and signposting to further advice on security products, to protecting businesses.
Prevention Team Leader, Paul Golley, said: “Everything we do is about prevention and raising awareness of the steps people can take to protect themselves, their homes or business as well as reduce crime within their communities.”
A new burglary prevention website and a helpful pack of advice for anyone who is burgled are currently under development and will be available soon.
Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Stephen Mold said: “I am strongly supportive of helping people to protect themselves and their property and it is very positive that our Neighbourhood Teams are now well trained in crime prevention.”
