12 Days of Community Safety Day 10

This Christmas, we’re teaming up with Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council for 12 Days of Community Safety. The council are sharing community safety advice on their social media in the lead up to the big day and we’ll be sharing the policing messages here on Herts Connected so keep an eye out.

Here is Day 10. You can check out the rest of the tips on the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council social media accounts.

Christmas is a joyful time for many, but it can also bring emotional strain, leading to an increase in domestic abuse. If you or someone you know is suffering, you are not alone. Support is available through the Herts Domestic Abuse Helpline at 08088 088 088 (Mon-Fri 9am-9pm, Sat-Sun 10am-4pm), or visit www.hertssunflower.org for more information. 

In an emergency, always call 999.

If you are in immediate danger but are afraid to speak, call us on 999 then press 5 and 5 to alert us from a mobile. There is no need to speak, but police will be able to respond. Or if the matter is less urgent use our webchat service found at herts.police.uk
