Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter - Winter 2018

Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter Edition 4 – Winter 2018 Welcome to the fourth edition of Mid and East Antrim’s Policing and Community Safety Partnership’s Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter. I continue to be encouraged by the Neighbourhood Watch network in Mid and East Antrim and I am happy to encourage new schemes. If you are thinking of starting a new scheme please make contact with PCSP staff who will be happy to assist you with the application process. As we make our way into winter and the Christmas festivities it is easy to

become a little complacent about crime prevention. Whilst we are fortunate to live in one of the safest areas, we want to remind residents that burglars are often opportunistic! Let us not make it easy for them by leaving doors and windows open or leaving valuables easily accessible. Unfortunately in recent months there has been an increase in scams both in terms of rogue traders and via the telephone/ internet. Within this edition we have included advice about the Nominated Neighbour Scheme and tips to Celebrate a Crime

Free Christmas. If you do find yourself in the position where you feel you have been scammed we urge you to please report. Whatever your resolutions as we approach the New Year, we hope that the tips, advice and contact details provided in this issue will help you to become more vigilant and proactive at keeping yourselves, your property and your communities safer. Wishing you a Happy & Safe Christmas and 2019! Mid and East Antrim PCSP Chair, Cllr Paul Sinclair
