PSNI Launches Safer Summer Together Campaign
The Police Service of Northern Ireland has initiated its Safer Summer Together campaign, urging the public to enjoy summer responsibly while remaining vigilant about safety concerns.
Acknowledging that summer is an ideal season for people to engage in outdoor activities and spend time with loved ones, the police have issued guidance to ensure everyone's safety and prevent crime.
Superintendent Gerry McGrath is leading the operational activity and said:
"This year, our summer guidance and advice covers a range of issues such as driving safely on our roads, scams, online safety, home security and getting home safe after nights out. We will also pay particular attention to anti-social behaviour which we know can cause serious issues for the public.
"We would ask everyone to be mindful and respectful of those around them taking into consideration how their behaviour may affect or cause distress to others. Those who are the victim of anti-social behaviour should not hesitate in reporting it.
"All members of the public should be able to enjoy our shared public spaces and we will be on patrol in all major tourist areas and beauty spots around Northern Ireland to ensure everyone’s safety. We are also encouraging young people to stay safe, particularly on nights out.
"Ensuring the security of your property is also a vital consideration over the summer as many people look forward to a long weekend break or holiday abroad. It only takes a thief a few minutes to enter your home and take valuables so we encourage everyone to ensure the safekeeping of their house, shed and any other outbuildings.
"I would encourage people to keep an eye on the Police Service of Northern Ireland social media channels over July and August where there will be a wide range of advice and guidance, ensuring that we can all have a Safer Summer Together,” added Superintendent McGrath."
