Every year we receive over 230,000 999 calls, this figure is increasing year on year. A proportion of the calls received are not an emergency and are not appropriate for 999 this can prevent a genuine 999 call for help being answered in the appropiate time. Advice for calling 999. Call when its an emergency. A crime is being committed. Someone suspected of a crime is nearby. When there is a danger to life. When violence is been used or threatened. Often people panic they remember the 999 number and call it. We are here 24/7 365 days a year to help you, but if its identified as being a non-emergency you will be asked to call 101. We understand how upsetting a crime or anti-social incident may be, but please help us keep the 999 lines free for emergencies.

Staffordshire Police are supporting the “Ask for Angela” campaign for customer safety in England that started in 2016. It is used by bars and other venues to keep people safe from sexual assault by using a codeword to identify when they are in danger or are in an uncomfortable situation. The campaign aims to help anyone who feels unsafe in night-time venues, including bars, pubs and clubs. Many venues support the scheme. They might call security, lead the person to a safe space, or help them leave the premises unnoticed. This could be on a night out, on a date, meeting friends and other situations. Ask for Angela is needed because :- 97% of women aged 18-24 and 80% of all women said they have been sexually harassed in public spaces in the U K. 54% of women experience sexual harassment in a pub, club or bar. One in five LGBT people have experienced a hate crime or incident because of their sexual orientation or gender in the last 12 months. Here’s some practical advice you can follow when it comes to dealing with suspicious messages and calls:If you have any doubts about a message, contact the organisation directly using the contact details on their official website.

In Scotland, call Police Scotland on 101. When we are at home we are safe and we want to keep you that way, therefore it is important for homes to be physically secure to deter criminal activity and reduce crime. Here are a few simple steps that you can take to ensure that your home stays safe and secure, and reduce the likelihood of you falling victim to a burglary. 1 -The majority of burglaries occur when there is nobody at home; most are not planned but committed by opportunists. 2 -Easily accessible windows, including easily accessible roof lights and roof windows, should also meet Police Preferred Specification standards. 3 -If you have a door connecting the garage to the house make sure this has the same level of security. 4 -Ensure all keys, including car keys, are out of sight and away from the letterbox, as a device could be used to hook keys through the letterbox. 5 -Always keep valuables like tablets and laptops out of sight from windows. 6 -Store any high value items (i.e. jewellery, passports) in a properly secured safe or bank vault. 7 -Make your valuables less attractive to thieves by using a property or police recognised forensic marking solution – this includes for valuable tools and bikes that are stored in outbuildings and garages. 8 -Install a burglar alarm. 9 -In the evening, shut the curtains and leave lights on. 10 -Keep ladders and tools stored away; don’t leave them outside where they could be used to break into your home. 11 -Consider joining or forming a Neighbourhood Watch scheme. 12 – Always lock your doors and windows every time you leave the house, even when you’re just out in the garden, remembering to double-lock UPVC doors (lift the handle and turn the key)
Local media news are reporting on a fantastic new sensory garden at Goldenhill Community Centre where the “Just Family” charity is based. The idea moved forward when the charity contacted Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association for contacts and suggestions, which through communication has brought this much needed piece of tranquility to Goldenhill. The garden is receiving excellent reviews from residents who have visited the location, and saying what a credit it is to everyone involved, especially “The Green Styling Company” who built the garden as well as RMG (Residential Management Group) and JLB (Property Maintenance) who paid for the project to go ahead. Just Family believe the sensory garden will benefit everyone, especially people with mental health problems, isolation and those with learning disabilities.
