  Fortunately we have seen a much better month for crime comparing it to
  April. Hopefully it will remain this way for the foreseeable future.

As we have started to experience the warmer weather, I am sure many of you
enjoy sitting out in your gardens. Please remember to keep your side/front
  doors locked at all times. The same applies if you have gates into your
rear garden. The summer months can see a rise in sneak in burglaries, due
  to people leaving their doors open whilst they are outside enjoying the
sunshine. These sneak in burglars can be in and out within minutes and will
take whatever is at easy reach- normally keys, handbags, mobile phones, so
                            please be careful!!

North West Leeds Neighbourhood Policing Teams are holding an open day ay
Headingley Stadium on Sunday 11th July from 11- 3 pm. Different departments
of West Yorkshire Police will be available to speak to and there will be
numerous displays. The day is a good day out if you have any children as
there will be activities including a bouncy castle and face painters etc.
  We are also going to have a display for Neighbourhood Watch to try and
promote the scheme and get more people involved. The stall will be manned
by Police Community Support Officers and we are then opening the invitation
  up to any coordinators or members that would like to assist. It would
involve speaking to prospective members and your presence would be highly
appreciated. If anybody would like any further information or to take part,
                          then please e-mail me.
