Message from Harrow crime prevention

Harrow have started sending messages like this to help in prevent crime. I think it’s an excellent way of reaching people.

I guess, the downside is that you then may feel more fear and it’s not nice to live with fear. However, I think I have a responsibility to behave in a particular way and help and support others, where possible, to avoid this kind of thing.

I guess a little prevention can go a long way.

No police burglary = no police involvement = no calls to your insurance provider = no forms to complete = no ‘stock take’ etc. etc. etc.

For this reason I am forwarding this message to you. I hope you find it useful.
