Text 20. Help the Police to help you
Your police force needs your help in beating the criminal. They can’t do their job without it. You can help best by reporting at
once anything that strikes you as suspicious.
If you saw someone being attacked or robbing a shop you would naturally phone the police. But ring them just the same if you
see someone lurking around your neighbour’s side door or trying car doors. The police won’t mind if you are wrong. And ring at once
– seconds count! What you should do:
Dial 999. Ask for police: and tell them as much as you can:
1. Where the incident happened.
2. The number of people involved.
3. Descriptions of the suspects.
4. Description of the scene.
5. Registration number of any vehicles involved.
6. Your name and address will help, but they are not essential.
Read these passages carefully and be prepared to comment on them. Consider, for
example, whether you think the text was spoken or written, who the speaker/writer was, and
what they are talking about.
a) Protecting your own home is fine, but you will enjoy greater security if everyone
around you is working at it. The way to do it is to be good neighbours. Without being nosy,
you can keep a watchful eye on neighbours’ homes as well as your own. Report anything
suspicious to the police. They prefer you to be safe rather than sorry. By acting together with
neighbours, friends and the police in this way, you create a deterrent to the criminal. There is
no doubt that crime prevention is most effective when it is a partnership between the
police and the public. This is particularly true at the neighbourhood level, where the flow of information between public and police is
vital if criminal activity is to be foiled.
b) I don’t want you to go away thinking that crime prevention is only about sophisticated gadgetry. When it comes to the
personal items of value, which most people carry around with them, there are a number of simple precautions that an individual can
and should take to protect his or her property.
Take wallets, for example. Just consider what your wallet contains at this moment, ladies and gentlemen. Cash? Credit cards?
Driving license? Membership cards and receipts, perhaps? And what else? Think how you’d feel if it were stolen. Ask yourself how
easy it would be to replace the contents.
Focus on Discussion.
