Crime Prevention

On this month’s Crimecall the team travelled with Sergeant Graham Kavanagh to Mountmellick, Co. Laois, where they met local Garda who were visiting the Mountmellick Retirement Active Group.

During the visit Sergeant Kavanagh offered advice to the older people present in relation to bogus callers, burglaries, CCTV and online fraud.

The meeting was intended by Mr. Jack Keyes, Age Friendly Ireland, who offered advice in relation to the area in our communities outside of the home (public realm) and how thoughtful design can make a difference i.e footpaths, seating, better lighting, and thoughtful planting of trees and shrubs all help to make society safe.

Sedergeant Kavanagh offeer advice to our older people in how best to cope with the Covid-19 Pandemic and how best to stay safe.
