FREE HOME SECURITY ADVICE FOR RESIDENTS

Epping Forest Safer Communities Team working in partnership with Essex Police are offering free security advice to residents considering making improvements to their security.

Community Safety portfolio holder, Cllr. Mrs. Syd Stavrou said: “This is a practical initiative designed to help residents with their security. The advice is free and impartial from two officers who have over 60 years of policing experience between them. We hope that by introducing this as a service we will prevent residents falling victim to crime.”

Chief Inspector Alan Ray, District Police Commander for Epping Forest District said: “This is a very good partnership initiative, fittingly launched during ‘Not in my Neighbourhood’ week. These officers have been carrying out joint security surveys for some time when crimes have occurred and they have proved very reassuring with householders. This initiative will extend this service to a wider group of residents.”

Any residents who are interested in having a security review can contact the Safer Communities Team by emailing here or by telephone to 01992 564608.
