Working together to reduce crime
The South Nottinghamshire Community Safety Partnership continue to work hard to reduce crime across South Nottinghamshire. Measures used to reduce crime include amongst others, high-visibility policing, covert operations, CCTV surveillance and security patrols. By raising awareness and increasing vigilance we can all help to reduce crime.
During the spring and summer months many of us will be enjoying time away from home and spending time in our gardens - here are a few tips to keep you and your property safe when doing so. Whatever the season there are steps all of us can take to help reduce our chance of becoming victims of crime.
Before you go on holiday
Safe house
* Make your home looks lived in.
* Perhaps a trusted person could collect your post, cut your lawn and even park their car on your driveway.
* Avoid discussing forthcoming holiday plans where strangers may hear details of your absence.
* Lock all doors and windows, if you have a burglar alarm set it!
Garden
shed with lock
* Keep your shed in good condition, fittings should be bolted through the door and screws concealed, fit a shed alarm.
* Well positioned external lighting is a good way to deter intruders.
* Keep tools secure, they could be used to force entry into your home.
* Chain large items together and consider relocating valuable items to within your home.
* Mark your valuables with your postcode, house name or number.
Home And Vehicle
car mobile phone sat navigation
* Fit and use good quality locks on doors and windows.
* Keep keys away from windows and doors.
* Remember, if you can get into your home without your keys, so can a burglar.
* Never leave your vehicle insecure.
* Remove all valuables from your vehicle.

D-Day 80 Events in Broxtowe
D-Day 80
The 6 June 2024 marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The anniversary will remind us that we can never take peace for granted.
It gives us an opportunity to pay tribute to the sacrifices made on D-Day and the selfless courage of the veterans of Normandy. There are a number of events to commemorate this across Broxtowe.
