This week I have been dealing with Mental health jobs, Patrolling the area in a car, on foot and bike. What I want to talk about is RTC’s, I have attended a few RTC’s and aware of more across the wider area of Kidderminster, Stourport and Bewdley. Be safe when out and about! Roads are wet and slippery. With the weather changing for winter, so needs your driving. Think about stopping distances being extended and watch your speed. Visibility can be difficult in the cold morning or the grey days with rain.
The week coming Oldington, Foley and Sutton Park SNT want you to think “CAR” Keep you vehicle safe, where are you parking it? A secured garage is best, parking your vehicle out of view is one of the best ways to prevent opportunist theft. If you don’t have gates, a vehicle bollard will provide an extra visible deterrent. CCTV and lighting will also help deter thieves. When not in use either at home, when out and about or on holiday – store your keys in a security pouch. Security pouches are sometimes termed Faraday bags or RFID signal blockers/shields, these pouches will prevent the signal from your vehicle being captured using electronic devices Don’t leave your keys in the hallway near the front door as fishing for vehicle keys through the letterbox is a prominent method of stealing them. Grabbing the signal will be easier for the thieves if the keys are near the front door Consider using physical security like a steering wheel lock or wheel clamp as modern car thieves prefer not to attack these types of physical security devices as they want to get away quickly without getting caught.
