The Association of Dorset Neighbourhood Watches, with the assistance of Dorset Police has published a booklet 'Stay Safe'. This booklet provides advice about all sorts of security issues from in your home, to your car, to your online identity protection. This is a 'must read' for anyone whose life circumstances have changed due to the loss of a live-in partner. Click here to download this important document.  

Over 50s home fire safety checks - Free! Are you over 50 years old? If so, book your appointment with Dorset Fire and Rescue to visit you at home to advise on fire risk. A uniformed officer can fit smoke detector alarms and give advice on best practice for your personal security. Click here to find out more or call 01305 252600. Remember - the difference between escaping without injury and death could be no more than a £20 smoke alarm.
