During this period officers spoke to in excess of 70 motorists giving advice for the season ahead.

Darker Nights mean it is easier for thieves to target your property so follow our advice to keep your home safe after dark.
Valuables and Cash - Avoid keeping large amounts of cash in the house.

Community Policing Priorities
Antisocial behaviour, Violence and Disorder: 
Over the month there have been a few instances of anti-social behaviour. One incident on the 1st Nov where youths rang a doorbell and ran away on Gordon Road. A week later Police received a report of youths having moved some cones on Great Western Road at its junction with Craigton Road. On both occasions the youths had departed prior to Police arrival and no identities were established.
Officers continue to patrol area’s known to have issues with anti-social behaviour where duties permit and will deal with any offences detected robustly. We continue to rely on members of the public reporting any criminality to Police so we can take action.

Community Engagement & Reassurance:
Your Home - Most housebreakings are carried out by opportunist thieves – so take away the opportunity and keep your home and possessions safe.
Lock the Door - Obvious isn’t it? But some people don’t do it. Lock the door even if you’re only out for a short time. If you have window locks, lock those too. Get into the habit of locking the door when you are at home. This stops people coming in if you are in another part of the house or garden.
Keep Your Keys out of Sight - Don’t leave your keys on the inside of locks or just inside the door. If you have a spare key, don’t leave it under a mat, plant-pot or other easy to spot place at home. Never keep house keys and car keys on the same ring. Make it as hard as possible to break into your home or to steal your car.
Make Your House Look Occupied - Away from home? Use timers on lights and radios so that it seems like there’s someone at home. If you are going away on holiday, avoid announcing this publicly on social media.
Show People That Your Property Is Secure - Thieves are put off by visible security alarms and carefully directed security lighting. Just make sure they don’t disturb your neighbours by going off unnecessarily.
Valuables and Cash - Avoid keeping large amounts of cash in the house.
Keys - Cars fitted with immobilisers can’t be hotwired. This means that keys are needed to drive your car. Keep your keys safe. Don’t leave them in the lock of your front door, or on the kitchen counter. When you are out, keep them with you at all times. A key is used in 70% of car thefts. By keeping your keys safe, you’re reducing the risk of your car being stolen by more than two thirds.
Possessions - If possible, don’t leave belongings in your car. Take them with you if you can. If not, lock them in the boot out of sight.
