Bicycle Bike Crime Police Prevention Security Theft
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1989, Paddock community policeman Pc Howard Fanning can be seen diligently marking bicycles with their owners' postcodes. This session took place at Paddock Junior School as part of a local security drive aimed at preventing bike thefts in the area. The image captures the proactive efforts of the Paddock Neighbourhood Watch, who distributed hundreds of leaflets urging families to mark their property with special pens provided by the organization. By engraving each bicycle with its owner's postcode, they hoped to deter potential thieves and increase the chances of recovering stolen bikes. The dedication and commitment shown by Pc Howard Fanning is evident in his uniformed presence as he carefully marks each bike. His involvement highlights the importance placed on community policing and crime prevention during this time. Furthermore, secretary Frank Sylvester expressed hopes for an upcoming exhibition featuring products made by security firms. This initiative demonstrates a comprehensive approach towards enhancing local security measures beyond just bicycle marking. This photograph serves as a reminder of how communities came together in the 1980s to combat rising crime rates and protect their belongings. It showcases both individual responsibility and collective action towards creating safer neighborhoods.
