installing motion activated outside lighting, installing or refreshing existing alarm systems and/or CCTV helps in target hardening your property and can certainly go a long way in deterring criminals from selecting your premises.

In addition, if you see suspicious activities or persons around your premises, make note of the individual(s) and contact the police immediately. While you may think it helpful, please refrain from posting on social media, images or videos of possible criminal activity around your home”

For further crime prevention advice, please contact a reputable security company or Inspector Scott Devine at 717-2180 (e-mail sdevine@bps.bm) to identify the appropriate Community Action Team (CAT) officer responsible for your neighbourhood.
