Crime Reduction : Home & Property Security Index

Home & Property Security

Peace of mind while you are away: Four out of five burglaries occur when a house or flat is empty, so don’t advertise that you’re away on holiday.

Neighbourhood Watch: Direct voluntary activity which makes a real difference to your community.

Beat the Burglar: Most burglaries are committed by opportunist thieves. In two out of ten burglaries they don’t even have to use force.

Coded for Keeps: Do you own things of sentimental value which would be impossible to replace? Or things which could be replaced but at a cost?
