Engagement with the local community to offer safeguarding and crime prevention advice continues both in person and online.

We continue to work with local organisations such as Neighbourhood Watch, who support us in providing their local schemes with burglary prevention advice and awareness.

In the event that a burglary has occurred, we conduct house to house and conduct CCTV and forensic opportunities where possible. Additional patrols are also directed to areas where burglaries occur.
