Read About Dacorum's Crime Prevention Panel
The work of Crime Prevention Panel stems from guidance
by the Home Office and is referred to as 'Partnership Against
Crime/Crime Prevention Panels/Manual For Action'. Home Office
guidelines that CPP's are to tackle 'real problems with real solutions'.
There are Crime Prevention Panels in Hemel Hempstead,
Berkhamsted and Tring. They are staffed by volunteers, aided by
the community police, the Borough Council and shopkeepers who
want to make a contribution to the safety and peace of mind of
their community. Volunteers dedicate a couple of hours each month
to crime prevention. This might involve giving leaflets out in
a supermarket car park to warn shoppers to lock their cars and
keep shopping out of sight or giving a talk to a local lunch club
for the elderly to raise awareness of bogus callers.
