Talk and Ride

This is an interesting little exercise being carried out today in North Liverpool.

As advised to me by email by the award-winning Sergeant Simon Joyce himself!

Following on from the success of Talk and Ride event which took place in June 2010, I am pleased to announce that "Talk and Ride 2" has been organised to take place on Monday 17 August 2010.

The event will be of a similar format to the last event where Detectives from the Liverpool North Burglary Team will travel on public transport along the main arterial routes in Liverpool North spending a few minutes talking to elderly members of the community and providing them with home security advice particularly in relation to distraction burglaries.

The Liverpool North Burglary Team provide Crime Prevention advice as part of our core business and this event is another strand of distributing key messages to vulnerable groups.

The local Neighbourhood Police Teams also provide advice, re-assurance and some target hardening good to victims and any other resident in their area
