Crime Prevention Week aims to raise community awareness of crime prevention strategies and partnerships designed to promote and protect our daily living environment, and to encourage further community participation in crime prevention. It is a great opportunity to remind everyone that there is lots of things people can do to help keep the community safer throughout the year.
Crime Prevention Week involves concerns relevant to every member of the community. The Crime Prevention Week website will be regularly updated as activities and events are organised for October, so stay tuned and see how you can get involved.
