Darker Nights

Good afternoon all,

As we get into winter and the nights are darker quicker here are a few things you can do to make your home appear like you are in:

-If you are out, use an automatic timer switch or smart lighting to turn on the lights when it gets dark, to make it look like someones home.

-Take time to check your alarm system, outdoor bulbs and security lighting works.

-Ask a trusted neighbor, relative or friend to collect your post and open and close your homes curtains whilst you are away, to give the impression that someone is home.

-If you are away, don't share details on social media until you return.

Also beat surgeries are a good way in asking for crime prevention advice as well as collecting automatic timers if you are in need of them. Check the NL59 Beat team newsletter for upcoming beat team dates and times!

Many thanks,
