Work we're doing

Crime Prevention

Taking some simple measures can help prevent your home from being targeted by burglars.

Towns & Villages

Right across the counties we cover there are We Don’t Buy Crime towns and villages with whole communities protected by forensic property marking technology.

Second-Hand Stores

We Don’t Buy Crime works closely with second-hand stores to help prevent the sale of stolen goods.

Fuel Stations

Some motorists might absent-mindedly drive off from a fuel station forgetting to pay for their fuel, while others deliberately drive off without paying.

Associated Harm

We Don’t Buy Crime doesn’t just focus on acquisitive crime, crimes such as burglary and theft, but it looks at the associated harm that comes with it.

Neighbourhood Matters

The Neighbourhood Matters messaging system enables residents, businesses and community groups to keep in touch with local policing teams. You can receive updates on crimes, latest information on on-going incidents and learn more about what we’re doing in your community.

Volunteer With Us

Citizens in Policing is the term used to describe the hundreds of people across Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Worcestershire who give up their time volunteering to support the police. It includes our Police Support Volunteers, Special Constables and Cadets.

Acquisitive crime: acquisitive crime is an offence where the offender derives material gain from the crime. Examples include, burglary, theft and robbery.
