Contacting Wiltshire Police In ANY Emergency, Dial 999 If you wish to report a crime please ring
your local Police Station on 0845 408 7000 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Click here for the new Wiltshire Police website Wiltshire police website is relaunched! The new design makes it more accessible to all members of our society, easier to navigate through and obtain information quickly, without the need for downloads or special software. It has revolutionised the way people with visual impairments or learning difficulties can access vital information, using a specially adapted Textic toolbar to cater for their requirements. This customised toolbar includes a variety of functions such as breakthrough text-to-speech technology - 'Talklets', allowing text to be spoken out in a natural voice and in real time. Information can also be translated into a variety of languages common to Wiltshire and will incorporate Arabic, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hindi, Romanian, Polish, and Portuguese. The Neighbourhood policing team pages remain
largely unchanged with local information and contact points on the area page.
The reporting crime feature has also been
improved, other features soon to be available will be the facility for users to
apply for jobs online and check the status of their application, the capacity to
accept online payments, enabling the public to pay for items such as firearms ================================================= Distraction burglars operate by diverting the attention of the home owner to give them or their accomplice time to search the house for money and valuables. Many will pose as 'officials' such as those from the water board and ask them to perform a task such as turning on taps. However, many other distractions are used including requesting a glass of water or asking to phone a vehicle break-down service. The SOS - Stay Out Stranger campaign is
promoting the steps that can be taken to avoid becoming a victim. Anyone who
receives an unknown and unexpected caller should keep them outside and not open
the door. Distraction burglars can be very convincing and if they are given the
chance to speak could talk their way into a house or even barge in if they feel
they will not be let in with permission.
