The Blue Lamp Trust operates a free scheme, the Bobby Scheme which provides free home security visits.
A full crime prevention and fire safety survey can be carried out by trained, police-vetted fitters. They will provide both general and specific crime and fire prevention advice to improve home safety. When appropriate locks, spy-holes, door chains and smoke alarms can be fitted. This service is completely free.
The Bobby Scheme is free to those who are vulnerable due to age (over 60), circumstance, disabled, or a victim of household crime. Anyone can make a referral including individuals, friends, family, doctors, social workers.
