The Bobby Scheme, set up by the Cambridgeshire Police Shrievalty Trust, is a charity dedicated to securing the homes of victims of crime aged 60 and over. The charity helps to improve the quality of life, increased independence and safety of older, vulnerable and disabled residents in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. They also help to reduce the fear of crime to non victims, disabled residents and victims of domestic abuse.
The aims of the charity are to:
Reduce burglary
Reduce repeat victimisation
Reduce the fear of crime
Increase feelings of safety and provide peace of mind
Why the community needs this charity
Because they work closely with Cambridgeshire Police, they are able to identify victims of burglary aged 60+ within 24 hours and can offer their security service immediately. They can then target crime hot spots in the county and secure the homes of non-victims aged 65+ in the area, thus reducing the likelihood of thieves returning to the vicinity. The Bobbies not only fit security equipment to the homes of the elderly but also give safety advice which helps victims feel safe in their own homes again. They offer the same service to non-victims for a small donation.
