BUSINESSES and homeowners will be able to get professional security advice from the experts at Nottinghamshire Police’s Crime Reduction Expo which takes place on Tuesday, May 13, at The Village Hotel, Chilwell.More than 20 specialist security companies have been booked to host seminars and set up stands at the exhibition, offering practical tips to keep businesses, homes and even pets safe.
At the event, which is free to attend, there will also be demonstrations on how to use innovative crime prevention products.
This includes Smokescreen, which fills a room in seconds with a safe but disorientating mist, which can confuse and even detain burglars.
Smartwater
And Smartwater, which is an invisible spray used to mark property and contains a unique dna-type code. As a result any property which is retrieved can be matched with its owner.
Other technologies featured at the Expo include, Smartwater, home and business alarms, CCTV systems, fire and smoke alarms and locks.
In addition an Eco Van will also be on hand to discuss natural security solutions, which includes hedges that feel and act like barbwire.
Alongside the security tips, Nottinghamshire Police will be holding a recruitment day, offering advice to anyone wanting to join the force as a Special or a volunteer.
”Misery”
Partnerships Officer Nigel Turner, who has organised the event, said: “Criminals are becoming more sophisticated as they try to defeat the law and bring misery on law-abiding businesses and homeowners.
“Fortunately the Crime Reduction Expo will feature some of the latest technologies which have been specifically designed to prevent burglars and vandals from committing such crimes.
“Many of the companies will also be holding free seminars, which will not only discuss specific products, but also better ways to use products you may currently have.”
Number of Booklets
Nottinghamshire Police has published a number of booklets and leaflets around business and home prevention, which will be available on the day.
Nigel Turner added: “Many crime prevention products are very competitively priced and in the long term may save money. “It is everybody’s interests, which includes the police, businesses and homeowners that security is increased where it can be.”
Also at the Expo, which has been organised by the force’s South Nottinghamshire Division, will be the RSCPA. On the day pet owners will be able to their dog or cat micro-chipped for around £15.
