Stay Safe Autumn 2011
Kent Police is offering residents of Tonbridge & Malling with some crime
prevention tips, as the weather begins to change and the colder nights
draw in.
This comes as part of the Stay Safe Autumn campaign 2011, which aims to
prevent residents from becoming victims of crime, to deter young people
from taking part in nuisance or anti-social behaviour and taking a firm
approach where offending does occur.
With the darker evenings and mornings it is a good opportunity to look at
your home security and consider some of the following options:
Use timer switches around your home to turn lamps on and off
Keep you rear gate secure with closed shackle padlocks
If you have a garden shed, keep it secure and alarmed
Dont leave any tools laying about in the garden and keep them secure
Consider having a home alarm system fitted
Install dusk to dawn, low powered, lights at the front of your home.
This allows you to enter your home in light and not darkness.
If you have a fuel or oil tank on your property, consider making it as
secure as possible by:
Locking your gates
Disguise your tank via fencing or hedging etc.
Try and limit the quantity of fuel in your tank
Lock and alarm your tank (there are some good alarms and locking devices
for tanks)
Fit a level gauge with an audible alarm (this can even be remote so
only you hear the alarm)
Consider installing security lighting and CCTV if necessary
Consider a tank cage or guard (these can also be alarmed)
If you have a new tank or are moving your tank, consider siting the tank
cleverly. Out of sight from the roadway and if possible, in a secure
location
Remove all scrap metal from view (by removing scrap from view of
potential offenders, you can avoid drawing attention to your property).
The last piece of advice is around your vehicle and these can become
vulnerable in the darker months. If you have started Christmas shopping
then there can be a greater opportunity for thieves:
Park in approved, well-lit car parks, look for the Park Mark signs
Avoid leaving large amounts of shopping in the vehicle, even the boot
Park with your boot towards the wall or other obstruction (this makes it
harder to get into the boot)
Never leave anything valuable in your vehicle and where possible, remove
all tools if its a work van or vehicle,
Always lock you vehicle regardless of where you park or for how long
(most thefts happen when you only leave your car for a short time).
Stay Safe and have fun.
