It is shocking to think these type of headlines are becoming the norm… “Man Stabbed” or “Child Critical After Knife Attack” or “Woman Attacked with Knife in Local Park” they are indeed a sad part of everyday life in today’s modern Britain. Knife crime has become one of the biggest killers in Britain in recent years, although some organisations try to mask the actual figures, one fact still remains, people are getting hurt by mindless thugs using knives to attack people.

Home Security Driveway Alarms
With the recent crime figures showing that robbery and burglary are on the increase (source) you won’t be alone in thinking about additional home security measures to help protect your home. We have talked before here on the CPP Blog about using security markers for your possessions and personal attack alarms for you and your family as handy, reliable home security measures.
However, wouldn’t it be good if you could actually hear people or cars coming up your drive or approaching your home. Driveway Alarms are an ideal way to help alert you that someone is approaching your home, garage or garden shed. Many of the driveway alarm systems available can have extra sensors attached so you can protect multiple areas of you property from the same source.
Driveway alarm systems work by placing sensors in the areas which you want to protect. These sensors send out an invisible beam of light, which when broken by a person or car or some other object fires off an audible and lighted signal to the base unit alerting the home owner.
Once alerted by the Driveway Alarm a person is then prepared to see who is approaching, and if required can call the authorities. Simple and easy to set up, these driveway alarm systems will help protect your family and possessions by deterring thieves or burglars.

Police, Tasers and City Centre Madness
Police in Nottingham have been videoed using a taser stun gun 3 times on a man who was causing a disturbance outside a nightclub on Monday night. The whole incident was videod by a member of the public. Not only was the man stunned twice by Taser, it also shows the Police punch the man on his upper body. This incident has now been passed to The Independent Police Complaints Commission who after watching the video, thinks there may be grounds for further investigation. Truth is, the video fails to show how confrontational the man might have been before the Police took action to taser him.

Gang Loyalty Stronger Than Family
Many of our children think that it would be cool to join a gang – as this would give them the opportunity to meet new friends (peers), a sense of importance, they might even think they are protecting their community.

There is no law banning gangs or people joining gangs, its only the criminal activities they do that’s illegal.
