Dear Watch Member,
Our last Walk, Talk & Do of the month takes place tomorrow, Saturday 24th August at 10am.
Join us at the War Memorial at the top of High Street, Pinner where women can speak openly with female officers about their experiences and concerns regarding women’s safety, and tell us what areas they feel safe or unsafe in.
These conversations help us work with partner agencies to improve safety on our streets and in our open spaces.

Beware of Cold Callers
Dear Watch Member,
We have received reports of cold callers offering to jet wash driveways in the Pinner area, so this seems like an apt opportunity to remind residents how to protect themselves from fraudsters.
Fraudsters convince you to pay for goods or work which is often overpriced, of poor quality or is not even carried out. In many cases, this work isn’t even necessary. They may use intimidation and pressure you to make quick decisions so that you agree to their demands.
As a rule, never accept offers of work from cold callers. Legitimate labourers and companies do not cold call and should have professionally printed leaflets with contact details to give to potential customers.
For advice on how to protect yourself from door-to-door scammers, please read pages 25 and 26 of the attached ‘Little Book of Big Scams’, which also includes advice about numerous other scams to be aware of.
