Dear Resident,

Hampshire Constabulary wanted to share an update with you from our partners, The Blue Lamp Trust, of which our Chief Constable Scott Chilton is a Trustee. 

They have recently launched a dedicated service on the Isle of Wight, which seeks to help protect vulnerable residents on the Island from becoming victims of crime.

The scheme from the Blue Lamp Trust offers FREE home visits providing both general and specific crime and fire prevention advice to improve home safety.

As part of the scheme, they visit residents of the Isle of Wight who are: 

Lois, their police vetted Safety Technician, will visit and carry out a full survey and fit items free of charge, such as: 

In addition, they are able to supply and fit the below items for a fee: 

Key Safes: C500 Key Safes, ACPO Police Accredited with a 5 year guarantee. Supply and fit £55

Ring Doorbells: installation of Ring Doorbells. Supply and fit £90

All of the Blue Lamp Trust advisors are police vetted and carry ID cards to reassure local residents that they are genuine – and please remember, they will not be offended if you ask to see their ID to validate their identity.

If you, or anybody you know, is eligible (based on the criteria above) and would benefit from a Bobby Scheme referral, please enquire via the Blue Lamp Trust website at https://www.bluelamptrust.org.uk/bobby-scheme-landingpage/ or by calling 0300 777 0157.
