Get face-to-face with Fenland police
There are several opportunities to get face-to-face with Fenland police this month at a string of events in towns and villages.
Dates and times are being advertised on the Policing Fenland Facebook page at: June events
Be open water safe
As summer reaches us, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue has reminded people of how to keep themselves and loved ones safe from open water dangers.
Group Commander James Ball, head of Community Fire Safety, encouraged families and young people to use supervised venues and pools due to risks like hidden debris, sudden drops, strong currents and cold water shock.
He said: "We know that despite the risks, some people may still choose to enter open water. If you do find yourself in difficulty, remember to 'Float to Live'. Tilt your head back, keep your ears submerged and try to control your breathing. Once the effects of cold water shock begin to pass, gently move towards safety or call for help."

Reporting anti-social behaviour
You don't have to suffer alone due to anti-social behaviour - that is any behaviour that causes harassment, alarm or distress.
For advice of what constitutes anti-social behaviour and where to turn for help, see: Anti-Social Behaviour - Fenland District Council
Domestic abuse support
Fenland District Council provides details of where to turn for help and advice if you or someone else is experiencing domestic abuse.
The website page includes a 'quick exit' button in case you need to leave the page quickly.

Volunteer to help reduce speeding
Community Speedwatch is a national initiative where volunteers, with the support of police, record details of speeding vehicles using approved detection devices.
Registered keepers of vehicles breaking the speed limit are contacted, explaining the potential risks and consequences of their dangerous behaviour. Repeat offenders receive a visit from the local police and could face criminal prosecution.
To discover more and volunteer see: Cambs police Speedwatch
Beware door-to-door and courier fraud
Being aware of door-to-door and courier fraud can help you to identify it, stay safe from it and cope if you're a victim.
Cambridgeshire Constabulary carries information on its website of both things and lots of associated advice: Door-to-door and courier fraud
Of courier fraud, the website says: "Courier fraud is when someone contacts you by phone impersonating trusted authorities such as police officers or bank officials. They may even do this in person.
"They do this to trick you into handing over cash or your bank cards to them, or to a courier. Sometimes they trick victims into purchasing and handing over other expensive items, such as jewellery. The courier may not know they're being used as part of the crime."
Of door-to-door fraud it says: "Here are some examples of what might happen:
- Most door-to-door fraud involves selling goods or services that are either not delivered or are very poor quality. You won't get value for money, and you may get billed for work you didn't want or agree to.
- Some criminals conduct surveys just to get your personal details. They may also do it as a cover to sell you goods or services you don't want or need, such as roofing work or a patio replacement.
- Dishonest employees sometimes act illegally, even when selling a genuine product by a genuine business."
