Burglaries in your area – an important message from your local Police, March 2009
Since the beginning of the year there has been an increase in the number of residential burglaries in your local area. Some have taken place during the evening and overnight, when criminals have entered homes through insecure doors. The risk of your being burgled remains low but there are a number of things you can do to reduce the risk.

Ensure your door is properly shut,
Information regarding UPVC Door Burglaries, March 2008
The police have asked us to make residents aware that there
have recently been to a number of burglaries where entry to the premises has
been gained by forcing open plastic UPVC front doors, particularly overnight.
The victim's have generally been completely unaware that simply lifting the
handle on the inside does not fully lock the door. By leaving the door on the
night latch, it's really easy to pop open from the outside with a screwdriver as
you only need to force back the central lock and the whole thing opens.
Hillingdon Police Asset Management Consultation
Click here to download Hillingdon Police Asset Management Consultation
This details that consultation process being conducted in Hillingdon Borough regarding the closure of certain police stations, and the requirements for a more efficient police service.
The Association would
appreciate you completing one and returning it by what ever method you chose
from those listed. Hayes Police Station is already in the initial planning
process of plans being drawn up for presentation to LBH. The plan is to
accommodate a purpose built custody suite of 40 cells and the response shift
parade centre. It is also planned/intended for each Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT)
to have their own premises within their area. Debate as to whether this will
include open access for members of the public i.e. counter service.
The consultation period is extended to 12 March 2008.

Launch of Street Champions Scheme in Ruislip and Eastcote Area, November 2006
The Street Champions scheme is being launched in the West Ruislip, Eastcote & East Ruislip and Northwood Hills Wards, to be known as Ruislip & Eastcote area. There will be six other similar Ward cluster areas across the borough hosting the scheme to be rolled out over the next two years.
Street Champions are volunteers that act as the “eyes and ears” of the local community. Their role is to report residents’ concerns such as graffiti, abandoned cars, noise, damaged pavements and anti-social behaviour to the council.
If you would like an early opportunity to find out more about the scheme, its benefits and how you can get involved, please come to the Winston Churchill Hall, Pinn Road, Ruislip on November 2nd, at 8pm (refreshments from 7.45) to hear more about the scheme.

Make that Shed or Garage Secure
A major source of residential burglaries reported to Hillingdon Police
are via sheds and garages. At most entry was gained from the rear of the
property by suspect/s forcing a window or door. A number of houses were broken
into using the householders own tools!
The suspect/s had found what they required in the householders garden shed. Burglars do not like to carry tools with them when they go out to commit crime as it is hard for them to explain their presence to police if stopped and can lead to them being arrested for the offence of "Going equipped to commit theft".
An insecure shed is inviting trouble.
| Please ensure that your shed or garage is fitted with good locks, padlocks should be of the closed shackle variety. |
| Please ensure your shed/garage is locked when unattended. |
| Consider fitting a shed alarm, a 137db deterrent. Available from Community office at Ruislip Police Station at a cost of £10 each (approx a third of what they retail for) we sell them on behalf of the Hillingdon Crime Prevention Panel. If you would like one then please let me know, telephone number 020 8246 1869. PC Gareth Summers. |
