A Schoolboy Error
We recently discovered this old image in the archives of our Force Museum. It forms part of a series of slides probably used by officers giving talks on home security to residents.
A young man makes the schoolboy error of leaving his key in one of the first places a burglar might look.
While the image probably dates from the early 1970s, the message is still as relevant today.

You should call 101, the new national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.
Always call 999 in an emergency, such as when a crime is in progress, violence is being used or threatened or where there is danger to life.
You can also call anonymously with information about crime to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity who will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.
