Crime prevention

In general crime rates continue to fall. Many criminals are opportunistic and will take a chance when they see the possibility, so simply closing a window or removing valuables from display really does make a difference. It is important to remember that most crime is against property, not people.

Following crime prevention advice helps to reduce your risk of being a victim of crime and makes you and your family safer.

The link to the Home Office Practical guide to crime prevention website provides advice on:

  • household and property
  • business and retail
  • vehicles
  • community
  • personal safety
  • your family.
