Dungannon and South Tyrone Interagency Group has recently commenced a Home Safety and Crime Prevention Scheme which will particularly benefit senior citizens, vulnerable people and victims of domestic burglary, theft and robbery.

Participants can avail of home safety advice and if appropriate, have free home security equipment fitted by a local PSNI representative or Dungannon and South Tyrone Borough Council's Home Safety Officer. The security equipment which can be fitted includes padlock alarms, door wedge alarms and sensor alarms.
