This section is about crime and what you can do to prevent it. It is the job of the police to fight crime, but we can all help to reduce crime. Most crime is against property, not people, and few crimes are carefully planned. They are mainly committed on the spur of the moment, when the opportunity to take something left on show in a car or available via an open door or window to a house presents itself.
You can reduce the risk by securing your car and home, providing the police with more time to tackle serious crime and further protect communities from harm.
