Staying Safe
It is important to stay vigilant and be aware of the threat of
terrorist attack. Avon and Somerset Police have produced
information and advice to raise awareness of this.
Levels of crime and anti-social behaviour are lower in Somerset
than in many other parts of the country.
However, worries about becoming a victim of crime are an
understandable concern for many people who live, work or visit the
area.
To make sure that everything possible is being done to prevent
crime and to deal with it effectively if it happens, statutory
agencies in Somerset work together with the help of many other
local organisations and individuals.

Threat of terrorist attack
As we all go about our daily business, it is important to stay
vigilant and be aware of the threat of terrorist attack.
Advice for vulnerable people
Domestic abuse of vulnerable partners and distraction burglary
affecting older people are a main concern in Somerset. The
proportion of older people in Somerset is higher than that
nationally, and is predicted to continue to rise; distraction
burglary is likely to rise accordingly.
