Safe Street
Welcome to Safe Street, our fictional street promoting home and community safety.
With Halloween on the way, our fictional friends on Safe Street are getting into the spirit of things! They’re carrying on the good work, keeping their loved ones, homes and neighbourhood safe and secure. From setting up a local Neighbourhood Watch, to looking out for each other and staying safe now the dark nights are here with home security tools, or even becoming a Crimestopper with our charity’s volunteering scheme, the residents of Safe Street have peace of mind knowing that:
- The only unexpected visitors will be the tiny trick-or-treaters, on the hunt for more sweets
- The only figure emerging from the shadows is Mr Meow the cat, getting into the Halloween spirit, springing out from under a pile of leaves
- The only disturbance is the neighbours sneaking in late after a Halloween party.
This autumn, we’re sharing top tips on how to keep your home and local community safe with fellow safety superheroes Neighbourhood Watch and Ring, because when we all work as a team, we can help make communities safer together.
Safe Street can be a reality.

Thinking of letting some supersmart tech do the heavy lifting when it comes to keeping your home safe and secure? Our protection pals at Ring have got you covered. Not only that, but Ring products have been designed to let you check in with your home, your pets, or your loved ones to make sure everything is OK, and they have been known to capture some surprises along the way, as illustrated in our animation above and here (trust us, it’s worth a click, things do go bump in the night!). Ring can keep you connected to what’s important and can provide you some unexpected humorous and touching moments too.
And remember, if you ever have information on a real crime and want to stay anonymous, you can always call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111, or fill in our easy-to-use online form, here on our website. Our team are here 24/7, 365 days a year, and we'll never ask who you are, never judge, or ask how you know about a crime. We’re just here to help you make a difference and keep your community safe.
In an emergency, always call 999.
