Staying Safe

Stay Safe During Dark Nights

As the evenings draw in, North Yorkshire Police is reminding everyone to take extra care on our roads and in our communities:

✅ Be Visible – If you’re walking, cycling, or riding, wear bright or reflective clothing and use lights.
✅ Drive With Care – Reduced daylight means reduced visibility. Slow down and watch for pedestrians and cyclists.
✅ Secure Your Home – Longer nights can lead to opportunistic crime. Lock doors and windows, and use timers for lights.
✅ Plan Ahead – If you’re out after dark, let someone know your route and expected return time.
✅ Stay Alert – Avoid distractions and keep valuables out of sight when travelling.

Together, we can keep North Yorkshire safe this winter. For more advice, visit North Yorkshire Police Crime Prevention
