New safety booklet drives home crime prevention message

Thames Valley Police and the Royal Borough's Community Safety Partnership have once again teamed up to produce a special community safety booklet which will be delivered free to all households in the borough from the week beginning 6 April.

The colour booklet provides information on the borough's Community Safety Partnership, comprising the police, fire service, Primary Care Trust, the Royal Borough and other key agencies. The 16-page A5 booklet, which is entirely funded by advertising, contains details of partners and services provided by organisations in the partnership.

Cllr Colin Rayner, lead member for highways and streetcare (including community safety), said: "The Community Safety Partnership has produced this booklet for a number of years and we have always received positive feedback. I am therefore delighted that we have been able to produce this booklet again and I want to thank our partners for their support with its production.

"The booklet is full of useful advice and will help us get the community safety message out to all households in the borough at no cost to residents. I encourage everyone to read it as it contains information of value.

"We must work together to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the Royal Borough. This booklet has some very useful tips on how reduce the risk of crime for residents."

Insp Mark Millward, partnerships inspector, said: "This is an excellent booklet as it has what's available for residents who need advice or information on crime or anti-social behaviour, and who to contact, and it's all in one place. It is another example of successful partnership working in the Royal Borough."
