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.
