Protecting Your Property in Newton and Blackwell

With Newton and Blackwell's property crime rate of 12.5 per 1,000 being significantly below the UK average, residents can still enhance their security by moving beyond reactive measures.

Features such as DVLA vehicle verification and pattern learning enable the system to differentiate between genuine threats and everyday routines, only alerting you when necessary.
