A million pound makeover for some of Cleveland’s hardest hit communities is underway, overseen by the Office of Police and Crime Commissioner for Cleveland.
The Safer Streets programme is aimed at turning the tables on criminals by protecting areas which have previously
been most vulnerable to theft or burglaries.
Areas of Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and Redcar, and Cleveland will all benefit from the package of measures which includes improvements to CCTV, street lighting and alley gates, better protection of empty properties and the delivery of hundreds of ‘safe at home’ packs including 700 SelectaDNA property marking kits, enabling residents to better protect
their homes and possessions.
Community Safety Chief Inspector, Scott Cowie said: “Residents told us that burglary was a key area of focus for them, so these packs will help people to protect themselves further and go alongside some of the other operational work we are doing to tackle these awful crimes.”
