Royton and Shaw Neighbourhood Policing Team are hosting an event on Thursday 25 February to encourage residents to close the door on bogus callers.
The event will take place at Tandle View Court, Rochdale Road between 10am and 12pm.
Police officers, Home Watch Co-ordinators and Community Safety Services will all be on hand with advice and information on how to avoid becoming the victim of distraction burglars and rogue traders.
PCSO Sue Hoyle said: “Through this event we will pass on crime prevention advice so residents can keep themselves safe. Simple steps like making sure doors and windows are locked and using a door chain when answering the front door are all effective deterrents against thieves.
“It’s also important that people check the identity of callers to their home. If you are not expecting them, treat them with suspicion and do not let them in unless you have checked ID and are absolutely certain that they are genuine callers.”
The event is also an opportunity for people to come and meet their neighbourhood officers and tell them what concerns they have about crime and anti-social behvaiour in their community.
