Security
in England: despite the crime wave increased
since the end of the 80´s, the government
has dedicated a long time and great amounts of money
to the implementation of preventive programs, including
a greater police presence in the streets.
Safe Cities:
this is a test program (so far it has been proved
in 20 English cities): an association between
public and private organizations, that elaborate
a scheme of actions aiming to reduce the delinquency,
diminish the fear levels and create true safe
cities.
Police action:
among the diverse plans aiming to improve the
police work, it was implemented a specialized
training to obtain good levels of empathy and
understanding between the public and the police.
One of the methods consists in the selection of
police officers that stay permanently in one area
so they can be recognized by the community and
can also identify and know the priorities of each
place. There were also officers specialized to
work in schools interviewing the youngsters to
inform them on the risks associated to delinquency
and to identify the main issues on violence and
scholastic delinquency.
Some security tips:
Those travelers wishing to have a journey without
problems, please follow these simple and basic
rules:
* the best way to handle the money is through
traveler checks, and to change them according
to the everyday needs.
* as far as possible, leave the valuable articles
(jewelry, traveler checks, credit cards, airplane
tickets, etc) in the hotel safe-deposit box. It’s
also possible to find companies offering a safe-deposit
boxes service in the Yellow Pages.
* don’t leave luggage in a car without guard.
* take a trip insurance to cover the expenses
of any loss or robbery that you could have.
