Police distribute 1,000 family crime reduction guides

As part of the Government's "Not in My Neighbourhood Week" (13 to 17 October) the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police Peter Fahy has launched a campaign to circulate 1,000 copies of the family crime reduction guide "How to Avoid Becoming a Target for Crime" throughout Greater Manchester.

To help in the fight against crime, the Greater Manchester High Sheriff's Police Trust and Greater Manchester Police produced a comprehensive family crime reduction guide. The illustrated guide covers all aspects of crime including personal safety, burglary prevention and vehicle crime. Specific information for vulnerable groups such as students and older people has also been included.

The book is normally sold by the Greater Manchester High Sheriff's Police Trust and has been purchased by organisations that have provided them for their staff or tenants. From the profit of these sales 10,000 free copies have already been distributed to vulnerable people.
