8th August 2025Summer Streets – Keep Safe !
The the Home Office announced that shoppers and businesses will see increased
police presence, stronger prevention and enforcement action by police and councils
to support safer high streets this summer. Here’s some pointers for how you can
keep yourself safe too.
Street harassment
The first rule is to prioritise your personal safety. Do not challenge harassers if they
are threatening or you believe they may cause harm to you.
If you see someone experience street harassment, and it is safe to do so, ask them
‘are you ok?’. It can make a big difference to those who experience harassment by
letting them know you stand by them, and that street harassment is never okay.

Phone theft
Analysis shows phone theft claims in UK have risen by 425% since 2021. The best
insurance is preparation and prevention. The Metropolitan Police advise using your
phone for the shortest possible time on the street and avoid texting while walking.
Criminals often use bikes or mopeds when snatching devices, so watch out for any
nearby when using your phone and stand away from the roadside.
Keep your phone physically secure. You can use phone cases with straps or lanyards
that attach to your wrist to help keep you connected to your phone. They’re not
100% secure, but may act as a deterrent.
Switch on your phone’s security features to protect your phone and use the keypad
lock so that thieves cannot immediately access your phone, or use the biometric
authentication if your phone has it (finger print or facial recognition).
Pickpockets
Pickpockets don’t always operate alone, they may work in teams to distract the
target while someone unseen removes the items and blends back into the crowd.
Another member might step in as an enforcer in the event of an altercation.
