LOCAL COMMUNITY
1 A strong sense of community still exits in rural locations. Join a ‘Rural’ or ‘Neighbourhood Watch Scheme’ to share information. Find out who the local Police contact is for your area.
2 If you have a suspicious caller at your business, record the vehicle registration number, descriptions of the persons and report this to the Police.
