🎄 ðŸŒŸ ðŸŽ…🏽 | We’re looking for your help to design this year’s official Humberside Police Christmas card!
We’re asking children across our force area to design a card that’s festive and fits this year’s theme of KINDNESS

We hope your Christmas is filled with love and laughter, but for some, it can be a lonely time of year. An act of kindness and compassion might just brighten up their day. 

So we want you to design a festive card with some of the following questions in mind:

How are you going to be kind this Christmas?
Do you know someone who might be lonely this Christmas – what can you do to make them feel less lonely?
If you could grant one act of kindness to someone who needs it this Christmas, what would it be?

There are two categories: 

age 10-14 years old
age 9 years and under

Each category winner will receive a prize, with the overall winner receiving a VIP visit to Humberside Police to meet our Chief Constable Lee Freeman. The winning Christmas card will then be the Chief’s official card for 2019 and will be printed and sent out by him.

The deadline for entries is Wednesday 27 November 2019.

All entries should be on A4 paper and the first name and age of the entrant should be written on the front.

We want to share a variety of cards across our social media channels so we will assume your consent is given on submission of your entry. Make sure you follow us on social media for a chance to see your entry on our channels:

Facebook, Twitter, Instagram 

To submit your child’s/grandchild’s artwork, please either scan or photograph it and send it to us via email with the child’s name, age, address and a parent/guardian’s contact telephone number.

Please note – just posting your entry on social media will not gain automatic entry into the competition!

Entry details:

A parent will need to send in the entries on the child’s behalf
To submit your child’s artwork, please either scan or take a photo of their entry and email it to via email. Please include the child’s name, age, address and a parent/ guardian’s contact telephone number
Just posting the artwork on social media will not gain automatic entry into the competition

Further information:

The original paper artwork will be required for the winning entries. If the original artwork cannot be provided, it is at the judge’s discretion to choose an alternative winner that has the original artwork available. 
Entrants must be able to meet with the Chief Constable during early December 2017
The winner of each age group and the overall winner will be decided by Chief Constable Lee Freeman from a shortlist determined by a panel
The overall winner must agree to have their photograph being taken with the Chief Constable as part of the prize. The image of the winner will be used in promotional activities by the Force, both internal and external, and be distributed to the media and used on social media

Community Safety News

With Halloween just around the corner, we’re gearing up to make sure it’s a ‘Spooktacular' time for everyone, including those who’d rather not get involved.

Our main priority is keeping everyone safe and happy, and to make sure we do that our teams will be out and about across East Hull and particularly in areas where there have been issues with antisocial behaviour in previous years.

Halloween is a great time of year and we want to do all we can to make sure it’s a fun and enjoyable time for everyone. It is one of our busiest times of the year, so we have arranged our shift patterns to ensure we have additional officers out on the street to deal with any issues that do arise as quickly as possible.

The last thing we want to do is spoil anyone’s fun and we’re looking forward to getting into the ‘Spirit’ of the occasion and checking out your costumes and decorations, however, if we find you are behaving inappropriately we will step in.

Some people and particularly the more elderly and vulnerable members of our community can find Halloween genuinely frightening and that’s just not fair.

We have created a printable ‘Sorry, No Trick Or Treaters’ that I have attached.

If you see this poster displayed or there are no Halloween decorations on show, skip this house and go somewhere where they’ll be happy for you to call.

If you have friends or neighbours who you know don’t want to be disturbed, why not print a copy out for them and take it round?

We’ve also been doing a lot of work to try and prevent any issues from arising in the first place by visiting schools to talk to pupils about keeping themselves and their friends safe if they’re out trick or treating and the importance of respecting the wishes of people who don’t want to take part.

We’ve also been speaking with local businesses to ask them not to sell eggs and flour to under 18s over the Halloween weekend, to try and prevent antisocial behaviour.

PLEASE get in touch if you experience problems so that we can deal with it as quickly as possible.

If something is happening in your area please let us know about it, by calling 101 or 999 if someone is in immediate danger. It is likely to be busy, so please bear with us if you can’t get through straight away. You must let us know, so we can make sure our teams are in the right area at the right time.
 
 
Top Tips for a safe and fun Halloween:
 
If you’re going trick or treating, make sure you can be easily seen.

Take a torch with you and wear something reflective – particularly if your costume is black.

Younger children should always be accompanied by an adult.

Plan your route and tell someone where you’re planning on heading and what time you’ll be home.

Stay in groups, make sure you all get home safely and don’t accept lifts from strangers

Respect your neighbours. If they don’t want to be disturbed, leave them alone.

If you’re all heading out, don’t make it obvious your home’s empty as it may be a target for burglars.

Leave your valuables out of sight.

Due to the number of reports of Burglaries please see the below crime prevention advice…
 
 
Vehicle Crime
 
Most vehicle crime is preventable. It can take as little as 10 seconds for a thief to steal something from your car. The best way to protect your belongings is to lock your car whenever you leave it. Other things you can do include:
 
Removing everything from the car; don't even leave a jacket where it can be seen
Closing the sunroof along with the windows when you leave
Not storing things in the boot; take them with you
Storing car ownership information in your home, not your car
Having a routine to ensure you always take the keys out of the ignition
Taking removable stereos and sat nav equipment with you
In addition, using secure (theft resistant) number plates can make your plates less attractive to thieves
 
Where you park can make a big difference to the safety of your car and your belongings. Look out for car parks approved by the police Safer Parking scheme. You can find them by looking for their distinctive 'Park Mark' signs.
 
How to keep your car safe at home
 
Thieves sometimes break into houses looking for car keys. They can also use wires and hooks 'to try and drag' your keys through the letterbox.
 
Keep your keys away from doors and windows, and tucked away out of sight.
 
Have your vehicle's windows etched with its registration number or the last seven digits of the vehicle identification number (VIN). This can put criminals off, as it makes your car more difficult to sell. It also makes it easier for police to get your car back to you if it is stolen.
 
Get help when buying a used car
 
If you're thinking of buying a car it's a good idea to do a little research before you buy. Some vehicles are more secure than others.
 
The insurance research company Thatcham allows you to compare the security of new cars, motorcycles and trucks. It gives each vehicle a point score. That score can show you how the car you're thinking of buying compares to others on the market.
 
If you're buying a used car, the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) can also tell you what it knows about the vehicle. That information can include the make and model, the year it was built, and whether tax is owed on the vehicle.
 
Motorbikes
 
There are plenty of ways you can help to keep your motorbike safe:
 
Always lock your bike and set its alarm if it has one
Try to use a designated motorcycle parking place with a stand and security loop
When leaving your bike for some time, try to lock it to something secure. At home, you can fit special attachments to lock your bike to
Use a motorbike cover
Have the motorbike marked with its vehicle identification number (VIN)
Don't leave items such as helmets or other possessions with your bike
Think about where you park - try to park where there are lots of people passing, good lighting and CCTV
 
A GOOD website to look at is www.police.uk/ and especially the ‘Crime Map’ as this will give you information about individual crimes near you postcode.
