Protect your home from Burglary

Good morning residents.

Greater Manchester Police is committed to tackling burglary. Please see below for advice on how to secure your home and valuables. Together, we can prevent crime:

 • Keep doors and windows locked even when you’re at home. Ensure keys are kept away from doors, windows and cat-flaps

 • Burglaries often occur around religious or cultural festivals, weddings and special occasions • Use a timer switch on lights to make your home look occupied

 • If you have a burglar alarm, make sure you use it, even if you’re only going out for a short time

 • Consider using a lockable safe which is British Standard Insurance Approved. It should be anchored to something immovable and fitted with a Limpit alarm. Help police identify stolen items

 • Photograph valuable items, keep a written description of each one and include them on your insurance policy 

• Register each item of jewellery at www.immobilise.com

 • Be an active member of your local Neighbourhood Watch. Reporting
