Prevent showcase event A HIGH profile event has been used to showcase the value of Prevent partnership activity by Humberside Police and North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire Councils. The aim of the event in Scunthorpe was to highlight the variety of awareness products available for partners to use to support delivery of the Government’s Prevent agenda. The event forms part of a wider programme of activity which has taken place over the last 18 months and focuses on the two local authority areas of Humberside and Lincolnshire. The event was attended by partners from education, health, further education establishments, probation service, voluntary sector, and social services. Delegates were given a flavour of the range of Prevent engagement products available by DC Lee Ross, DC Ben Robinson, and DI Ken Kirwan from the ACPO Prevent Delivery Unit.

How to deter garden thieves SPRING has sprung and you might be thinking about sewing seeds and cutting the grass. But did you know that nature's own defence mechanisms are one of the best ways to deter intruders? Burglars look for easy ways of getting into a house or garden. By taking a few simple precautions you can make your house and garden more secure.
for North East Lincolnshire, I found the day very informative and thought provoking. The training material available will allow us to progress our awareness raising strategy with confidence across many organisations and agencies." Prevent training is being delivered to employees of agencies across the Safer and Stronger Communities Partnership.

Many gardeners like to plant around the perimeter of their property, but give little thought to surveillance or security. Leylandii hedges are often used to maintain privacy but these provide little deterrent to a burglar. Using a Holly such as llex Aquifolium would provide your property with privacy but few burglars would want to climb through it. For more information visit www. safercommunities.org/crime -reduction
