Senior Constable Don Allan's monthly newsletter
Hi Neighbours,
Don has lots of excellent information to promote your wellbeing and safety.
I'm going to email Don about the rather disturbing & very dangerous posts on Neighbourly of people chasing "strangers off their property " I feel that sooner or later there's going to be an ambulance required by a resident , I've had prowlers on my property many years ago, I know how the adrenalin kicks in to chase them ! I personally would recommend, lock your doors & windows , try to get a description of the person, what they're wearing, height, gender etc and call 111. I believe from past information from Police that if you call 111 and the dog squad is available they have a good chance of tracking the person, whereas not so much if you have been chasing the person up/down the road.
Regards
Colleen
