Police Scotland Survey re Public Confidence since Lockdown

Police Scotland are undertaking a survey (link below) in tracking public confidence levels and experience of their approach to policing since the COVID 19 lockdown. The survey will also capture people’s feeling of safety and any concerns they may have which Police Scotland can address operationally and through their information campaigns. It will be a continuous survey to support local policing and provide a tool for partnership engagement. We encourage you to complete this survey and to circulate it so it reaches as many people as possible:

Warning Regarding Telephone Scams

Following an incident in Dunbar whereby a lady has been scammed out of a five figure sum, Police are reminding people to be extra vigilant when they receive unexpected telephone calls, particularly from people claiming to be from their bank.

Never assume a phone call is authentic just because someone knows your basic details for example your name and address. If something feels wrong, then it’s usually right to question it.

Your bank or Police will never contact you by telephone asking you to move money or hand over information about your account.

Do not divulge personal information over the phone unless you initiate the call – If in doubt terminate the call.
