Stay safe

🚨🌞 STAY SAFE, STAY SMART, STAY YOU! 🌞🚨

A message from your local neighbourhood policing team!

It’s that time of year again – the sun’s out (well, most days 😅), shops are open late, the parks are full, and there’s a buzz across the town centre. Whether you’re catching up with friends, grabbing a bubble tea, or just soaking up the Wimbledon vibes — we love seeing our community out and about.

But in between the good vibes and group selfies, let’s hit pause for a second and talk about something that matters just as much: staying safe.

Yep, safety can be cool too — and here’s how to do it like a pro:

⸻

🎒 1. Pack Smart, Move Smart

We know, fashion over function sometimes wins… but let’s keep those bags zipped, phones in secure pockets, and valuables out of sight. Pickpockets don’t need an invite – let’s not give them an open door either! 🚪👜

👀 2. Be Aware, Not Alarmed

We’re not saying trust no one… but do trust your instincts. If something feels off – maybe someone’s following too close, acting strangely, or making you uncomfortable – move towards a busy area or alert a shop, security, or one of us.

👯‍♀️ 3. Stay with Your Mates

We’re stronger together – especially on nights out or busy days. Make sure someone knows where you are, and if you go out as a group, leave as one. No friend left behind! 🚨👣

🌞 4. Be Streetwise in the Sun

Hydrate, cover up, and take breaks – heatstroke isn’t fun, and neither is getting caught out without sun cream or water. And remember: you can be cool and still wear SPF. 😎🌤️

🚫 5. Don’t Let Peer Pressure Win

We’ve seen too many good young people follow the wrong crowd. Just because someone else is acting up, doesn’t mean you have to. You’ve got goals. Protect your future. Own your choices. 💪

📱 6. Emergency? Know What to Do

999 in an emergency. 101 if it’s non-urgent. And if you’re not sure, stop an officer – we’re never too busy to help. No issue is too small. You’re part of our community, and we’ve got your back.

👮‍♀️👋 We’re Out Here With You

You’ll see us out and about on foot, on bike, or in our marked cars — come say hi! We’re not just here for emergencies. We’re here for chats, help, reassurance, and the occasional dad joke. 😄

The world feels a lot better when you feel safe in it — and together, we can make sure it stays that way.

Have fun, make memories, but keep it safe out there Wimbledon. Let’s make this summer unforgettable… for all the right reasons! 💛
