Good morning,

Please find attached the Crime Prevention Bulletin for December.

New bikes are a popular gift for Christmas – Should you wish  to register a new bike please contact me to point you in the direction to register  your new bike to discuss running bike marking events in December and January: 

Bike marking is a proven method to prevent the theft of bicycles. Not only does it tend to deter thieves but should a bike be stolen it can be marked as such on the database and there is a greater chance of returning a stolen bicycle to the rightful owner if recovered.

We have selected to use Bike Register to mark and register bicycles across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight because it is a Secured by Design product, which is tested to the Police Preferred Specification, it is easy to use and allows us to return recovered bicycles easily.
