Reports have been received regarding calls from a company selling burglar alarms and claiming to be working with police.  Although this particular firm is legitimate, their selling techniques often include hard selling and they are known to target the elderly.
As with any firm cold calling either at the front door or by telephone, our advice would be not to answer the door in the first instance and not to employ them.  If you are considering installing any security items, you can always contact this office by telephone on 76539088 or emailing me and ask to speak to one of our Crime Reduction Officers.
