Victims of domestic abuse in the Derry City and Strabane District area will be offered
home and personal security items to help keep them safe. These items come as an addition to the CCTV
cameras from the prior year and includes personal safety alarms and motion
detectors.
This is a Derry & Strabane Policing and Community safety Partnership (PCSP) initiative. It follows a similar programme last year when CCTV
cameras, personal safety alarms and motion
detectors were provided to victims of domestic abuse.
Chair, Cllr Sandra Duffy, said “The domestic abuse packs will be handed out by PSNI to victims or those at risk of becoming victims of domestic abuse within the Derry City and Strabane District Council area.
“The aim of this partnership approach is to help tackle domestic abuse in all its forms by giving victims within our community who reach out for help, a sense of control to feel safe and secure in their home against the perpetrator.”
Foyleside and The Moor Neighbourhood Policing Team Constable, Rebecca Nelson,
expressed gratitude to PSCP for their provision of equipment, stating that “We
believe this equipment will help victims feel safer at home, and when they’re out and
about.
“Tackling domestic abuse, in all its forms, remains a top priority and we will continue to relentlessly pursue perpetrators and work with our partners to create safe places in our communities for victims to reach out for help.”
Anyone experiencing domestic abuse, or concerned for someone who is, can report
it to PCSP by calling 101.
