Keeping your property safe

• Ensure all your doors and windows are locked before leaving your property, and secure side gates in applicable
• Take valuables with you when travelling home for Christmas, and avoid leaving expensive items or gifts on display
• Use light and heating timers to give the impression of someone being home, while preventing damp and frozen pipes

Staying safe on journeys

• Inform those close to you about your travel plans, and keep your phone charged so you can be tracked
• Try to travel in daylight hours, avoid travelling alone late at nights and use well-lit areas
• Save important numbers: for non-emergencies call 101, and for emergencies call 999
