Dear Residents,
Here’s a brief snippet of what myself and the Oldbury Neighbourhood Team have been up to this week:
Oldbury town officers have been into rounds Green primary school to talk to the nursery and reception children about people who help us. We spoke about our daily duties of what a PCSO (Police Community Support Officers) does. We also spoke about the difference between ourselves & a PC. Great listening from the children and some brilliant question asked.
Oldbury town officers have conducted a junior PCSO session at St Francis Catholic primary school with a group of the year five children. This week we focused on road safety, and the importance of wearing a seat belt while traveling in the car, we also measured the height of each child to identify if everyone was tall enough to travel without sitting in a booster seat.
Oldbury town PCSOs have conducted a police surgery at our local library alongside Street watch coordinator for Sandwell John Greenway. Thank you for all who attended.
Oldbury Town Officers Have conducted hi-viz ASB patrols in the local residential areas of Oldbury, reassuring the local community.
Oldbury town PCSOs have conducted late evening patrols of Oldbury Green Retail Park and the high streets of Oldbury. No Issues while patrolling.
Oldbury town officers have Conducted a warrant for abstracting Electricity with partners agencies.
Oldbury town officers have been conducting Anti-social behaviour patrols across Oldbury town covering retail parks high streets and residential areas. Keep burglars out of your property Alarms
Consider an accredited burglar alarm system with audible alarm boxes mounted high at the front and rear of your home. Two visible audible alarm boxes are better than one. Mount them at the front and rear of your home, high up to resist tampering. There are three types of burglar alarm, varying in capability and cost: Monitored – Once triggered, an alarm company or designated key holder can check to ensure it isn't a false alarm. Unmonitored – This type, once activated, will sound a loud alarm designed to scare off an intruder and alert neighbours but they are reliant on someone such as a neighbour checking the house. Auto Dialler – This system, once activated, alerts pre-programmed key holders with either a text or a phone call. The police will typically respond to a burglar alarm if requested to do so by a monitoring company but are less likely to respond to an unmonitored alarm. If you have an extension to your home remember to extend your burglar alarm coverage as well. Burglars have been known to use ladders to access upper windows that appear to be unlocked. This is to avoid intruder alarm sensors on the lower floor. To help protect your property from this approach, you should extend any alarm sensor coverage to upper rooms. Signage is an effective deterrent if used with an active alarm system. For advice and approved suppliers of alarms visit the National Security Inspectorate and the Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board.
A big thanks to
Staff & children from Rounds Green Primary for having us in your school.
Next week…
We have a talk at Tipton Toddlers Continuation of our junior PCSOs Patrols of our Hot Spot areas
