The Harrogate District Community Safety Partnership is currently running its Spring crime prevention initiative.  With crime levels continuing to remain low across the district, the focus is to maintain this and to encourage local residents to take some simple steps so that they are not a victim of crime and specifically not a victim of burglary.

 

We are continuing the 'Billy the Burglar' theme for our campaign which encourages people to think like a burglar, what would a burglar like and what would they dislike.  By understanding what burglars look for in their target you will be able to identify any weak spots in your home's security.
