From Sue Gibson, Force NHW Co-ordinator,

It has come to my attention again that all types of companies are using aggressive/overly persuasive sales pitches to try to encourage homeowners to purchase whatever it is they are selling. The companies may be totally legitmate and because of the recession they are trying extra hard to make a sale, however some may not be and to this end I would like to reiterate a few points regarding cold calling and telephone sales, bogus callers and scams. I have also attached the ACPO (Association of Chief Police Officers) Guidleines for buying from security companies. Remember you can also list your telephone number with a telephone preference call service, check with your telephone provider for details.

See Attached for full details
