🎄 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.

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.

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

Protect Your Home - Crime Prevention Advice

Dear Resident,

I am writing to you to provide you with crime prevention advice in relation to protecting your home, garden and any outbuildings. This time of year is a popular time for criminals to target homes and related property.
We work hard to prevent burglary and bring offenders to justice, however there are actions that householders can take to reduce the risk of being burgled.

Often many homes are left unsecured with doors and windows left open or unlocked, which provide easy access for a thief.

Follow our tips below:
Make sure your doors and windows are closed and locked when you’re not in the room. Nearly half of all burglaries are down to someone leaving a door or window open
Make sure nothing of value is left on show to tempt thieves into breaking into your property.
Take your keys up to bed with you at night. This prevents thieves stealing your car.
Think about fitting a burglar alarm and security lighting – both to your home and outbuildings. It may be expensive, but they are very effective deterrents and can bring down your insurance costs.
Sheds, garages and gardens

Often the security of gardens and outbuilding buildings in them are forgotten about, while people focus on ensuring homes are safe. However by making a few modifications sheds and garages, along with the equipment stored in them can be made more secure.
Homeowners should make sure that sheds and garages have good quality lock and hinges.
They should consider fitting deterrents in the garden like movement sensitive floodlights as these will leave thieves feeling exposed. Likewise alarms on sheds and garages will deter thieves as they would not want to be spotted in out buildings taking property.
Garden tools, DIY equipment and leisure items such as fishing and golf equipment should be locked away in storage cupboards within outbuildings to form a second line of defence to thieves. 
Motorbike and pedal cycles should also be locked even when they are in a shed or garage.
To assist the police in recovering and returning stolen property, people should register valuables onto www.Immobilise.com. Cycles, golf and fishing equipment and tools can be easily added onto the property register and then this assists the force in identifying property as stolen/lost, bring offenders to justice and stop the items being sold via second hand stores. The system can also allow owners to upload pictures of unique items.
As well as protecting property in sheds and garages people can also stop thieves stealing plants by using heavy plant pots which will be less desirable to walk off with and ensure that unused garden furniture and tools are stored securely out of sight.
Protect your home while you are on holiday.

Don’t leave your house looking unoccupied
Mow the lawn before you leave so that it doesn’t look like a meadow by the time you get back.
Leave curtains and blinds open – nothing reveals that a house is unoccupied so much as curtains drawn during the day.
Cancel milk and newspapers and any other regular deliveries.
Ask a neighbour to remove free newspapers and post from your doormat if they can be seen through a glass panel or through the letterbox.
Install a light on a timer switch that comes on in the evening. If you are using a light on a timer, don’t use it with a table lamp that can be viewed through a window – a dead giveaway.
Keep your valuables safe
Keep valuables out of sight and don’t leave them where they can be seen through a window. 
If you conceal valuables in your home, avoid obvious hiding places such as your sock drawer or in a fake food can in the kitchen – burglars are wise to this trick.
Try not to leave anything you would hate to lose in the house while you are away
Given that most burglars are opportunists and their motive is generally to get in, get something of value and then get out as fast as possible, your intruder might be encouraged to leave after finding a fake hoard rather than turning your house upside down to find anything of real value.
Don't tell everyone you're on holiday
Don’t tell people outside immediate friends and family that you are going away or for how long.
Don’t talk about your planned holiday on social media - you don’t know who can read your comments, or who they will tell.
