Policing
We all want
our neighbourhood to feel and be safe. To this end, the Association
keeps in touch with our Local Community Officers and maintains a good dialogue.
Chase's Chairman, David Harmes, is on the Executive Commitee of the Police
Ward Panel and participates in discussing local policing issues and the setting
of policing priorities. If you have any concerns or points you would like
raised, please let us know and we will ensure that they are discussed. Please
read their most recent newsletter.

Two current issues, especially relevant to the Chase Residents area, is the currently high number of burglaries and theft of and from motor vehicles.
We can all make it harder for the thief:-
- make sure you lock all doors and windows when you go out
- don't leave valuables in your vehicle
- currently, the favourite access point is via your back door or window
- if you are in your back Garden, shut your front windows
- if you have side access, fit a gate (and lock it)
- if you are away, ask a neighbour to turn lights on/off, deal with your post/rubbish/recycling etc
- don't leave your car keys out in an obvious place (some burglaries are just to get your car keys !)
- consider having a burglar alarm installed
- fit PIR lighting around your property
- be Vigilant !
- become a member or start a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
