DARKER NIGHTS

With the darker nights, home safety is crucial! 

Make sure the outside of your property is well-lit, lock doors and windows, and switch on your alarm system 🚨 

If you have a digital doorbell or personal CCTV register it with us: CCTV Registry | West Midlands Police

🚴‍️ Riding your bike in the dark? 

Equip it with lights and wear reflective gear 💡 

When leaving your bike in a public place be sure to park up near CCTV, in a bike shelter, and use a D-lock through two parts of the bike. 

Stay visible and make your night-time rides safe and enjoyable!
