Your Home Security

Bedfordshire Police Partnership Trust's Bobby Scheme

Bedfordshire Police Partnership Trust's Bobby Scheme was launched in September 1999, originally with one Bobbyman Roger Tuck, attending the homes of elderly victims of crime to improve their security, offer reassurance and prevent them becoming victims again.

The service has grown and now have 5 Bobbymen, all qualified carpenters and not only attend victims, but elderly or vulnerable people to improve their security and prevent them becoming victims in the first place. Their team have attended over 14,000 homes in Bedfordshire and have made a major impact in preventing crime.

The Bobby Team carry out a survey of the house and identify any vulnerable areas and where appropriate, improve the security with locks, door chains and viewers etc. They also work in partnership with Bedfordshire & Luton Fire & Rescue Service fitting smoke detectors. The Bobby men are dressed in uniforms similar to the local police in order to offer reassurance to victims. They also carry ID cards with them at all times.

The service is generally free, but as the Bedfordshire Police Partnership Trust is a charity, donations of whatever amount are always welcome.

The Bobby Scheme service is for those people over the age of 65, or vulnerable or disabled. If you would like a visit from the Bobby Team to look at your security and reassure you, or would like more information about the Bobby Scheme please contact them on either 01234 842610, 01234 842612 or 01582 394035.
