Crime prevention tips…

Here are some crime prevention tips to help keep your property safe:

Home security:

Try to make your house look as occupied as possible when you are not there. Use timer switches for lights: Set indoor lights on timers to make it look like someone is home, even if you’re out.

Do not leave your house and vehicle keys in the lock or on a side table in view of a window.

Do not leave items in open porches that could be used to enter your home, for example, curved-handled umbrellas to open doors or keys through letterboxes

Always lock your windows and doors when you are in. If you have UPVC front doors take extra care to lock these as soon as you get into your property.

Cancel newspapers and milk if you are going away for a few days and ask a trusted friend or neighbour to keep an eye on your property. They can help by pushing post sticking out of the letterbox inside fully, or checking garden gates are shut.

Consider installing a burglar alarm or smart security system.

Visible CCTV cameras or doorbell cameras can act as strong deterrents

Hot Weather Alert…

Children and animals are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat. Young children are less able to regulate their body temperature and can become seriously ill very quickly. Heatstroke can develop rapidly, leading to dehydration, organ failure, unconsciousness and, in the most severe cases, death. Animals are equally at risk, as they rely on panting and limited cooling mechanisms to regulate their body temperature. Leaving windows slightly open provides little protection. Safety experts have repeatedly warned that cracked windows do not significantly reduce the rate at which a vehicle heats up.

West Midlands Police is reminding motorists that there is no safe amount of time to leave a child or pet alone in a vehicle during hot weather. Even a quick trip into a shop, collecting a takeaway or running an errand can have devastating consequences.

Anyone who sees a child or animal in distress inside a vehicle should call 999 immediately if there is an immediate risk to life. Members of the public are also encouraged to remain vigilant, particularly in busy shopping areas, retail parks and car parks during the current heatwave.
