Police call for schools watch support over the easter holidays
AS WE get right into the easter holidays, police are appealing for the whole community to support the ‘School Watch’ initiative and help protect our local schools over the easter break when they are closed.
Police would ask anyone who lives near to a school to be extra vigilant and report anyone acting suspiciously to police. We would also urge parents to be aware of what their young persons are up to and where they are when they are not at home.
Officers advise that people should not confront possible criminals but public information is vital to helping local police respond effectively. They would advise anyone who sees anything unusual or anyone acting suspiciously on school premises after hours or during holidays to telephone them on 0845 600 8000 or in an emergency dial 999 and ask for the service you require.
Alternatively information about crime can be passed to the Crimestoppers charity on 0800 555 111.
