Community Safety
Your home should be a safe place. Most callers to your home will be people you know, but you need to be careful when people you don’t know call at your door.
When peole you don’t know call at your door
- Keep you front and back doors locked
- Look to see who is at the front door through the spy-hole or window
- Put a door chain on before opening your front door. If you don’t have one ask to the caller to pass their ID throught the letterbox
- Keep the chain on the door. Check the callers ID. Check they are who they say they are
- If you are unsure, please ask the caller to come back when a family member or friend can be with you
- Do not sign any forms for services or give money to people you don’t know who turn up on your dorrstep
- Dial 999 if you feel frightened or threatened by people you don’t know
