We are urging residents to ensure their homes are as secure as possible this winter through our latest crime prevention campaign, with figures showing that burglary rates rise significantly as the nights draw in.

Be Sure You’re Secure aims to provide residents, drivers and couriers with safety advice on how to keep their home, vehicles and belongings secure in the run up to Christmas.
The extra hours of darkness combined with people being out at festive events makes it easier for thieves to break in. Christmas gifts stored inside homes in the run up to the big day are also an attractive proposition for criminals.

We have also seen rise in car theft and theft from vehicles, therefore, throughout the campaign, we’ll be sharing a range of crime prevention advice on how to Be Sure You’re Secure so keep an eye on our social media channels or for more advice and tips, visit: Crime prevention advice | Staffordshire Police
