Spridlington Parish Council
Crime Prevention Session held on 13 February 2025
A huge thank you to residents and Lincs Police personnel who attended this session. Both Sally Picker, Lincolnshire Police Crime Prevention Officer and PCSO Dawn Cowling provided clear and constructive advice and information. Residents posed some stimulating questions but, hopefully, went home with additional information about ways in which they may increase or improve security of their home and outbuildings to try to deter offenders.
Below are the links to websites where lots of information can be found about crime prevention and FREE property registration services.
Above all, the clear message was that if you see some activity, individual(s) or vehicles that you think are acting in a suspicious or concerning way, then ring the police on 101. The police will record the details you provide and this could be the key to identifying offenders in pre-planning stages or actual criminal activity.
Many thanks again to everyone for attending!
