Crime:
31 July 2013
MRS. CHALMERS, our crime Reduction Advisor, has put together a training package / tool kit re ‘Rural Crime’ which is a priority of the new PCC. The Neighbourhood Teams are undergoing full training at the moment – the first day was yesterday and I have to say it was excellent. The training provided by ‘Data Tag’ and the ‘CESAR’ Marking system for large machinery, was superb ! Some of the handouts may be useful to anyone living in a ‘rural area’ or who has outbuildings / stables, large mechanical equipment, extensive gardens / grounds etc. I felt it may be useful for you to have sight of the handouts. I have therefore attached them. Have a quick read through. If you feel they may be useful to you in the future, please copy them to your hard drives for future reference.
A reminder of a date for your diary:
Cllr David Hilton who organises the Ascot Retirement Fair has asked me to put out another reminder:
If you’re retired, or about to retire, why not visit the Retirement Fair at Ascot Racecourse ?
This year you will meet 150 exhibitors
- Watch demonstrations on painting, flower arranging and cooking.
- You will meet organisations looking for volunteers, talk with local clubs and seek advice and information.
- You can take part in exercise and dance classes, challenge your friends to a game of ping pong
- or just listen to the jazz band, join in the Big Sing and enjoy some street food or the hog roast.
- Bring your friends and enjoy a great day out especially designed for you.

From the Borough:
Libraries lending a hand to reduce
burglaries
With the school summer holidays in full
swing, the Royal Borough’s Community Safety Team has
once again joined forces with the library team and is hosting a series of
burglary prevention events across borough libraries.
The latest series of Road Shows kick off on Thursday
1 August at Ascot Durning Library between 10.30am
and 12noon.
At the events residents will be able to drop
in and meet their local community wardens while face painting and
colouring activities are being provided for children.
Dates of future events:
- Tuesday 6 August, 1.30 to 3 p.m. Cox Green Library, Maidenhead
- Thursday 8 August, 10.30 a.m. to 12 noon, Dedworth Library
- Tuesday 27 August, 1.30 to 3p.m. Windsor Library, Windsor.
Also available at the Road Shows will be a range of information leaflets with crime reduction advice and hints and tips for keeping homes safer. There will also be examples of locks, alarms and garden security devices.
Thames Valley Police have the following summer crime reduction advice:
- Ensure that windows and doors are closed and locked when you are out. Don’t leave small windows open believing them to be safe
- If you want to leave windows open while you sleep, fit window restrictors so they cannot be fully opened, or make sure they are not large enough to allow access to a burglar
- When out in your garden ensure that windows and doors to the front of the house are secure. It only takes a second for someone to get into your home and take things without you noticing
- Do not leave valuables on display in front of windows or in reach of open windows or doors
- Ensure that all barbecue and garden equipment and tools are securely locked up in a shed and out of sight. Tools can be used by the potential offender to break in to your home
- Consider fitting outside security lighting or a visible alarm to help deter burglars. Even using pea shingle or gravel on a driveway and spiky plants in garden beds can help
- Don’t leave any keys near entry points where they can be ‘fished’ or ‘hooked’ out through the window, letter box or cat flap
- Ensure any internal handle operated locks on UPVC doors are fully secured with a key.
Further summer crime reduction advice can be found by visiting

Cllr Carwyn Cox, Cabinet Member with responsibility for Community Safety, said: “It can be very tempting to leave windows and doors open during hot weather but we know that burglars are opportunistic. I would urge residents to come along to the Road Shows as it could prevent a crime. Burglary affects people’s property but far worse are the psychological effects.”
Cllr Eileen Quick, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Libraries, said: “Our libraries are very popular and well used throughout the summer holidays with many events taking place to keep children entertained. I am sure the burglary Road Shows and face painting will get many visitors.
“There is a long tradition of libraries and community safety co-hosting events. It presents a great opportunity for the community safety team to promote their key messages to a wide range of people.”
