GOING AWAY THIS SUMMER?
Make your home look like someone’s in. Don’t close your curtains as this shows the house is empty. Ask someone you trust to draw curtains at night and to remove post from behind your front door.
Cancel any milk or newspaper deliveries.
Use automatic timer-switches to turn lights on when it goes dark.
Check that all doors and windows are locked.
Don't leave spare keys outside, or in a garage or shed, and put car keys or garage keys out of sight in the house.
Use timers for radios if you need to be away from home overnight. They will create the impression that someone is in.
Activate burglar alarms.
Join your local Neighbourhood Watch scheme. County Neighbourhood Watch details
Install external lights. They will deter the criminal who wishes to work undetected.
Be a good neighbour. If you see anyone acting suspiciously around a property you know to be empty, call the police.

WATCH OUT FOR MOTORCYCLISTS, ADVICE FOR MOTORISTS
You may feel that these messages are preaching to bikers but THINK! also aims messages specifically at drivers. The latest TV ad encourages car drivers to look out for motorcyclists.
Motorcyclists are more vulnerable on the road than car drivers. They don't benefit from a protective metal environment or the stability of four wheels. But as a driver you can help keep bikers safe by remembering a few basic rules. To ensure you don't have an injury to another road user on your conscience KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR MOTORCYCLISTS.
The first thing to remember is that motorcyclists travel the UK's roads differently. For a start, they can make quicker progress, especially through slow moving traffic. It might be frustrating for you to see motorcycles weaving through traffic queues when you are stuck. But even if you think they are riding dangerously, a hostile reaction from you will make a bad situation worse.
Check your mirrors regularly and give motorcycles room. Motorcyclists cannot avoid hazards as quickly in wet or greasy conditions. A crash, which might not hurt you, can kill or seriously injure a motorcyclist. Always look over your shoulder before making a manoeuvre, especially being aware of blind-spots in your car, such as windscreen pillars and head-rests.
AT JUNCTIONS
When coming out from a side road, note parked cars or large vehicles obstructing your view of a motorcyclist. Before turning left, make sure a motorcyclist isn't on your inside, and before turning right, make sure a motorcyclist isn't on your outside. Give motorcyclists room at roundabouts. Don't squeeze motorcyclists' space at traffic lights, it can make them accelerate faster to get a lane.

Don't squeeze motorcyclists' space at traffic lights, it can make them accelerate faster to get a lane.
Give motorcyclists as much room as you would a car. They might need it to avoid a pothole, a manhole cover or a loose surface. Don't overtake when you can't give enough room - for example, where the road narrows. Don't overtake when approaching a junction.
WHEN PARKED
After parking, check for motorcyclists before opening your door. It is safer for your passengers (especially children) to get out of the vehicle on the side next to the kerb. When pulling away from the kerb, look out for motorbikes. They have a narrower profile than other vehicles, which can make them harder to see.
HONE YOUR SKILLS
Have you thought about developing your driving skills further? An advanced driving course could help you with new techniques. If you are newly qualified, you may not recognise hazards as early as experienced drivers. Ask a driving instructor about the PASS PLUS scheme - a course of further instruction to help you gain experience (there is a charge but it can be off set by cheaper insurance).

Fear of physical attack by a stranger also fell from 47.9% to 38.1%, a reduction of over 9%.
DCC Andy Parker said: “The results of this survey reflects the hard work undertaken by Warwickshire Police, Warwickshire County Council and other agencies in reducing crime and residents’ fear of crime.
"We aim to build on these successes, making Warwickshire even safer and protecting more people from harm."
* All statistics used in this release were obtained from the Warwickshire Observatory’s Fear of Crime & Perceptions of Anti-Social Behaviour document 2009/10.

CRIME STOPPERS
Anonymous information received via Crimestoppers has assisted officers in detecting and arresting 31 individuals in Warwickshire, between April 2009 and March 2010, and 580 in total since 1993.
Countrywide, Crimestoppers has led to 100,000 criminals being arrested in the 22 years since the charity was formed in 1988.
For over two decades Crimestoppers has received anonymous information via 0800 555 111 and www.crimestoppers-uk.org leading to:
* 21 people currently being arrested and charged every day
* 887 people being charged with murder/attempted murder since 1988
* Over £189 million of drugs being seized and the recovery of over £112 million of goods.
* Last year (2009/10) was Crimestoppers’ most successful with 7,474 arrests and charges being made, over 2,000 higher than ten years ago.
Acting on information provided by Crimestoppers, police in Warwickshire have successfully closed cannabis factories, prosecuted drink drivers and recovered dangerous weapons, reducing the risk of harm to the communities of Warwickshire.
Lord Ashcroft, KCMG, founder and Chairman of Crimestoppers, said: “Reaching this milestone shows the vital role Crimestoppers plays in the fight against crime and in making our country’s streets and communities safer. Many criminals would never have been caught without Crimestoppers.
“When I set up the charity more than 20 years ago, I wanted to empower the man -and woman - in the street with the means to hit back against criminals they could see were ruining our society - but without any risk of the informant being identified by those they were targeting. Anonymity for those providing information to the police has been the key to our success.”
In recent years, the charity has launched a number of specific initiatives including:
* Fearless – aimed at promoting and introducing young people to the service provided by the charity. Fearless also promotes Crimestoppers’ anonymous text messaging service on knife crime.
* Most Wanted – The Crimestoppers website (www.crimestoppers-uk.org/wanted/) allows the public to view photos, watch CCTV footage and read descriptions of people who the police are currently looking for. Since November 2005, over 900 of those featured have been arrested.
* Crimestoppers is totally anonymous; they want to know what you know about crime in your area, not who you are. You will never be asked your name. Crimestoppers receives anonymous information via telephone 0800 555 111 or online from the Crimestoppers website www.Crimestoppers-uk.org
·* Two-way online form - Crimestoppers can now facilitate a ‘conversation' with people who provide information online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org. While the contact remains entirely anonymous and is not a ‘live chat' system, users are provided with a login so that they can return at a later date to see if Crimestoppers has any further questions for them about the information they have provided previously.

UNIFORM CHANGES FOR WARWICKSHIRE POLICE
From Monday 12 July members of the public will notice a change in the appearance of Warwickshire Police Officers, Special Constables and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs).
As part of a uniform review for front line officers, the traditional white shirt and black tie is being replaced with more practical dark coloured tops.
All police officers who are required to wear body armour will now wear black zip up tops, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) who also wear body armour, will be dressed in blue button up polo shirts. The black tops also have "Police" displayed on both sleeves and "PCSO" showing on the sleeves of the blue tops.
The new style tops are a lightweight design which is more practical for officers on operational duties. Made of polyester the tops are designed to wick moisture away from the body surface, keeping the officer feeling cooler and more comfortable.
The choice of the black zip-up tops and blue button up polo shirts follows a lengthy period of in-force trials of garments made in different designs and materials, with officers from the Operations Task Force putting the new tops through their paces.
Inspector Lucy Sewell of the Operational Task Force, who has been involved in the decision to adopt the new style uniform said, “The new style top is lightweight and is more practical for those officers who must wear protective body armour.The officers trialling them have reported that they have found the new tops to be comfortable in both hot and cold weather.
“In addition to the comfort and practicality of the garments, they must also look smart. Officers who have been wearing them during the two year trial period have reported receiving no adverse reaction from the public.
"Although there will obviously be an initial cost in the change over to black tops, this will be offset in the long term."
From Monday 12 July all operational officers who wear protective body armour will be wearing the new darker coloured tops under their body armour.
When Police Officers and PCSOs are not involved in frontline duties they will continue to wear the traditional white shirt and black tie during Winter months, and a white shirt with open collar during the Summer.

CASH MACHINES - 8 WAYS TO STAY SAFE
Cash machines are generally very safe to use however LINK has put together a guide on what to look out for when using any cash machine.
1. Protect your PIN by standing close to the machine and shielding the key pad with your other hand.
2. Check to see if anything looks unusual or suspicious about the cash machine. If it appears to have anything stuck onto the card slot or key pad, do not use it. Cancel the transaction and walk away. Never try to remove suspicious devices.
3. Be cautious if strangers offer to help you at a cash machine, even if your card is stuck or you're having difficulties. Don't allow anyone to distract you.
4. Where possible, use a cash machine which is in clear view and well lit.
5. Check that other people in the queue are a reasonable distance away from you.
6. Keep your PIN secret. Never reveal it to anyone, even someone who claims to be calling from your bank or a police officer.
7. Avoid opening your purse, bag or wallet when you are in the queue. Put your money away immediately.
8. Regularly check your account balance and bank statements, and report any discrepancies to your bank immediately

WHAT IS VEV?
The Stratford branch of Victim Support (Tel: 01789-266626) or Warwickshire Domestic Violence Support Services (Tel: 01789-263691) have staff who are trained to use approved VEV cameras to record injuries or damage to property.
Physical injuries: bruises, cuts, scratches, pulled out hair etc.
Property Damage: broken windows, damaged door, offensive graffiti etc.
Photographic evidence can be recorded so that you have proof to take action at a later date. This evidence is then kept confidential and secure for future use. The evidence can be used in criminal court or in civil proceedings, if the victim decides they want to take action. Alternatively it can be kept on file (for a maximum of 6 years) or you can choose to have the photographs destroyed. You can access support and information to help you decide what you want to do. You will never be forced to have your evidence recorded - photographs will only be taken with your consent. All victims will be treated with dignity and understanding. Staff will be sensitive and understand that your injury may be of an intimate nature. VEV agencies will NOT tell anyone else that we have your photographs. If you have reported the crime to the police you do not need to use the VEV service.
Property Damage: broken windows, damaged door, offensive graffiti etc.
Photographic evidence can be recorded so that you have proof to take action at a later date. This evidence is then kept confidential and secure for future use. The evidence can be used in criminal court or in civil proceedings, if the victim decides they want to take action. Alternatively it can be kept on file (for a maximum of 6 years) or you can choose to have the photographs destroyed. You can access support and information to help you decide what you want to do. You will never be forced to have your evidence recorded - photographs will only be taken with your consent. All victims will be treated with dignity and understanding. Staff will be sensitive and understand that your injury may be of an intimate nature. VEV agencies will NOT tell anyone else that we have your photographs. If you have reported the crime to the police you do not need to use the VEV service.
