New – Nominated Neighbour Scheme
Do you or someone you know feel vulnerable in their home?
The nominated neighbour scheme has been launched to help elderly and vulnerable members of the community feel safer in their homes and reduce the chances of distraction burglars targeting the area.
A distraction burglary involved criminals tricking their way into a home by taking advantage of the trust show to them by the occupier.
This scheme seeks to put a guardian in place to act an intermediary called a nominated neighbour. With a nominated neighbour in place an elderly or vulnerable person no longer needs to open the door to a stranger and risk being taken advantage of.
