Senior Constable James Dine of Canowindra Local Police with Inspector Adam Beard.
During this week from 18th – 22nd July 2022, local Police are focussing on the crime prevention strategy of ‘Lock it or Lose it’.
‘Lock it or Lose it’ is all about highlighting some simple but effective techniques in deterring break and enters and the stealing of motor vehicles in the local area.
Inspector Adam Beard from Chifley Police District said, “Lock it or Lose it is all about prevention, and as the name implies, simply securing your property can be all it takes to prevent becoming a victim of crime.”
“Whilst local Police will be out and about targeting property offenders and remaining visible within the community, this week is a great opportunity for the greater community to focus on home security and look to developing sound crime prevention measures which can be adopted hereon,” continued Mr Beard.
“I would encourage the community to contact local Police and discuss any crime concerns they have,” said Mr Beard. “Our staff can provide you with simple tips to prevent property crime,” Mr Beard said.
Members of the community can enlist the assistance of the Crime Prevention Officer to conduct home or business safety assessments.
This assessment is a free service that the NSW Police Force perform to harden the community against property crime.
“We should feel safe and secure in our own homes, and by taking a few simple steps, we all can make a significant difference,” concluded Mr Beard.
