> Following on from a recent spate of dwelling burglaries in some parts of 
> the Division I am attaching guidelines which may assist you:-
>
> * Home Security
>
> The front of your home
>
> *  Keep hedges, trees and shrubs trimmed to a reasonable height to 
> allowyour neighbours maximum view of your property.
> * A gate in front of the drive is a good physical and psychological 
> barrier to the burglar and not so easy to sneak past. Remember to keep it 
> closed.
> * Outside lighting and alarms are an excellent deterrent and are proven to 
> reduce the risk of burglary. Net curtains prevent a burglar looking into 
> your home and seeing what there is to steal.
>
> The rear of your home
>
> *  This is the most important security aspect. low or damaged fencing 
> allows easy access to your property. Gates, fencing, walls or hedges 
> should be at least 1.8 metres high. A wooden trellis fixed to the top is 
> very
> effective. If climbed, it will break, create noise and attract attention.
> *  Gates at the side or back of the house should be kept locked with a 
> good quality bolt and padlock. Garden sheds should be kept locked with a 
> padlock or mortise deadlock as they often contain tools suitable for 
> breaking into your home and valuable equipment such as lawn mowers.
> *  Do not leave ladders lying around. These provide the burglar with the 
> means to climb into upstairs windows. Keep them locked in a garage or 
> shed, or chained to a wall. Check all doors and windows before going to 
> bed.
> Please remember to look out for the elderlay and less able within our 
> communities.
>
> E-COPS
> Your local Neighbourhood Policing Teams would like to inform you what is 
> happening in your area. E-Cops will give them the opportunity to do just 
> that and for you to have the opportunity to contact them.
>
> TO REGISTER ON LINE JUST COMPLETE THE ON LINE REGISTRATION.
> www.cambs.police.uk/signup/ecops/
>
> When you sign up you will receive an e-mail confirming that you have 
> joined E-Cops. From then on you will be sent regular e-mails from your 
> local Police Officer. You will be able to respond to these e-mails with
> information and feedback.
