“Education is the best defense.” – Unknown
The “Our 20 Favourite Crime Prevention Tips” series
At Neighbourhood Watch Ku-ring-gai & Hornsby, we aim to help you feel safer and more connected, wherever you live, work, learn or play. One of the priorities of ours is to help educate residents, businesses and visitors in the area of Crime Prevention.
There’s tons of useful crime prevention advice on the internet. The best comes from the NSW Police
and we’ll point you to their website every time.
Neighbourhood Watch Ku-ring-gai & Hornsby have created their our own ’20 Tips’ series of materials to fill a gap in the information easily available to residents. These materials can be downloaded as pdfs by clicking on the links below, then saving to your computer for later printing.
All of our ’20 Tips’ were compiled by volunteers and then reviewed by police officers.
