     SECURITY TIPS 'top ten' from local police
    Never leave handbags on desks or wallets in coats in your absence.
    Keep them with you or lock them away.
  • Always keep money in a safe place.
    Even the tea money! Keep it locked drawer by day, in a safe by night - or remove from building.

    Be careful with keys.
    Always keep them in a safe place and don't put spare safe keys etc in desk drawers - deposit them at a ban
  • Fasten vulnerable windows in your absence.
    Easy to forget, particularly in summer - the thief is in and out in a couple of minutes
  • Never assume a stranger is a member of staff.
    Challenge him or her - "Can I help you?" often deters the dishonest.
  • Don't accept that a stranger is authorised to be there just because he or she says so!
    Check them out! Someone in authority will know who is visiting and what they're doing. Never allow them to remove office equipment without checking first.
  • Don't be overawed by callers.
    Even if a visitor has come to see thr Managing Director, make sure he or she is known and expected.
  • Never leave a caller alone in your office.
    Don't leave the office to arrange for a colleague to see him or her - use the phone.
  • Don't disclose confidential information to a stranger.
    However important the person seems, always report any request for information to your     employer.
  • Don't assume all staff are as honest as you.
    Take care of your property and that of your employer.
