2020 COVID – Bendlowe’s Bugle

Covid19 brought our activities to an abrupt halt from March 2020 and the feedback we received was amazing with so many people missing their monthly Meet & Greet. Sorrow was also expressed at the fact that we had to cancel the outings we had arranged.

HOW TO PROTECT AND MARK YOUR PROPERTYBraintree Community Policing teamHello all,I talk to many of you in the rural communities about the importance of marking property as every year Essex Police recover hundreds of items and we are unable to return to their rightful owners -why is this? Because the property is not marked. A sample of this is in the image below. There are various ways in which you can mark your property, the simplest method being to mark or etch your property with your postcode, house or flat number or the first three letters of your address. All of these measures help police identify stolen goods, making it harder for thieves to sell. So make your mark! As technology improves there are now advanced products on the market: Essex Police do not promote any one company, just those that are secured by design.What is Property Marking? :- The Secured by Design (“SBD”) membership scheme includes member companies whose products have been awarded the 'Police Preferred Specification' status. As a police initiative Secured by Design was implemented to encourage the building industry to adopt crime prevention measures in the design of developments to assist in reducing the opportunity for crime and the fear of crime, creating a safer and more secure environment and ensuring that the product is sufficiently robust to resist physical attack by casual and opportunistic criminals. The SBD focus is on the critical factors that combine to deliver a product's performance - design, use, quality control and the ability to deter or prevent crime. Examples are: Smart Water, Selecta DNA, Asset Marking. What is DNA Property Marking? :-DNA property marking is a forensic marking system designed to reduce theft by coding valuable possessions with unique synthetic DNA and using warning labels to alert criminals your property is protected. Each property marker contains thousands of microdots which allow Police to identify property located at the scene in a matter of seconds. Thieves can no longer get away with possessing stolen property when confronted by Police. This small bottle of glue which is easily applied to lots of household items contains UV tracers which are incorporated in the synthetic DNA product making it easy for Police to locate and return to their owners.Other DNA products include Personal Defence Sprays, Underground DNA spray for cables, Tool marking kits, DNA intruder sprays and Tagging Sprays. For more information around crime prevention advice visit the Essex Police web site:www.essex.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/Stay safe, enjoy the Spring & Summer months, but please MARK YOUR PROPERTY.I look forward to seeing you at the monthly Shalford Meet & Greets and the Shalford Summer Fete on 22 June 2024.Terrie JohnsonPCSO 8143 Braintree Community Policing team ...
