We have continued with our Targeted Guardian Patrols in LADY HERBERTS GARDENS, FAR GOSFORD STREET AND SPON END. These patrols are conducted by uniformed and non-uniformed officers. We are able to patrols local hot spots without being instantly recognised, actively looking to deter criminality and identify person/s looking to buy and sell drugs within communities.
✅ Crime Prevention Tips:
Review your home security 🏠 We urge all residents to take a few simple, effective steps to protect your property and deter criminals. · Lock Up: Always lock your doors and windows, even when you are at home. If you have a UPVC door, make sure to lift the handle and turn the key to fully engage the locks. · Light It Up: When you go out, leave a light on or use a timer switch to make your home look occupied. A well-lit home is a deterrent. · Hide Valuables: Keep car keys, wallets, cash, and laptops out of sight and away from windows and letterboxes. · Set Your Alarm: If you have a house alarm, please use it every time you leave the house and at night. · Secure Side Access: Ensure any side gates, sheds, or outbuildings are locked and secure. The "Are You Mate Enough?" Campaign is a recurring initiative supported by West Midlands Police (WMP) to encourage friends to intervene and stop someone from drink driving.
"Are you mate enough to have a word when someone's had a few? Drink driving ruins lives. If your friend is planning to get behind the wheel after drinking, speak up. Offer to book them a taxi or take their keys. It might be an awkward conversation, but it could save their life or someone else's. #OpLimit" How to "Have a Word" Safely If you are out in town and suspect a friend is about to drive under the influence, WMP and road safety partners suggest: Intervene Early: Don't wait until they are at the car; have the conversation while they are still at the bar or party. Offer Alternatives: Suggest sharing a taxi, using public transport, or offering them a place to stay. Be Firm but Calm: Stay respectful to avoid a confrontation but be clear that you won't let them drive. The "Morning After": Remind them that they may still be over the limit the next morning, as alcohol takes time to leave the system. Reporting Drink Driving in Your Area If your intervention doesn't work and someone gets behind the wheel: In Progress: If you see someone drink driving right now in Coventry, call 999 immediately. Regular Offenders: If you know someone who regularly drink drives, you can report them 100% anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Submit Footage: If you have dashcam footage of dangerous driving related to drink or drugs, you can upload it to Operation Snap.
