Each box below is full of useful crime prevention advice to help you stay safe. Alongside our practical advice, we have listed our Secured by Design member companies that offer products that have been tested and certified to meet the exacting standards you would expect from the police all to give you confidence and peace of mind. Simply look for our ‘Police Preferred’ logo.

Police Preferred


All the security products that are recommended in these guides meet the ‘Police Preferred’ specification of Secured by Design. Look for our logo on the product packaging or when buying a product, ask whether it has been accredited by Secured by Design, the official police security initiative.
