Officers From Across The Force Distributed Christmas Cards To All Schools, Offering Free Smartwater Kits To Keep Students Safe From Intruders

PC “The take-up on our SmartWater kits has been great, and the initial cut-off date was 13 Friday January, but due to the popularity and with schools requiring more time, we would like to extend the offer,” said Jason Fenn of Shrewsbury.

Schools like St Giles Church of England school in Shrewsbury very recently signed up to the scheme and will be receiving their kits soon. The kits will assist schools in protecting their property, such as computers, sports equipment, and educational technology.

I was delighted that the school was working with the West Mercia Prevention Network on their current initiative and looked forward to building stronger relationships with them in the future,” said Caroline Gardner, the school’s headteacher.

Schools are the beating heart of communities across the three counties,” said Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion.

“I’m overjoyed that the SmartWater offer has been so well received. I help to fund the rollout of kits across West Mercia through my ‘We Don’t Buy Crime’ initiative because they are a proven way to deter burglary. If you work at a school that has not yet signed up to the offer, please email [email protected] or contact your local policing team to ensure you do not miss out.
