Crime Prevention

As a part of our absolute commitment to providing safe and sustainable communities, WPH operates a Crime Reduction Service aimed at providing advice and some practical assistance in order to reassure and support our customers. A few highlights from the service include:

 

Home Security Checks

WPH are the only registered social landord on the Wirral to provide a free Home Security Check to any customer. This includes a visit to your home, a short risk assessment and the free supply and fitting of a number of basic but practical forms of assistance. This assistance can include window alarms, door chime / alarms, personal alarms, shed alarms and even SmartWater property marking.

 

 

Offering relevant advice
We have supplied a number of types of leaflet and attended various open days, meetings and events in order to provide up-to-date advice and guidance on protecting homes and personal belongings. For the most up to date advice click on the Merseyside Police website or click here.
