Staying Safe Online
One of our neighbourhood priorities is to keep people safe online. We are focusing on protecting vulnerable people from fraud and exploitation. Criminals often target individuals through emails, social media and online marketplaces, and these scams can have a serious impact on victims.
We will work with local partners to raise awareness of common online scams and offer advice on how to stay safe. We will also support victims and encourage anyone with concerns to contact us using our team’s contact form or by calling 101.
If you have any information that may help us, please get in touch.

This week, members of the Somerton Neighbourhood Policing Team attended a local community support group, where we were available to speak with residents about any concerns they had around online safety.
Officers offered practical crime‑prevention advice, including how to recognise online scams, protect personal information, and report suspicious activity. The session provided a great opportunity for open conversation, helping raise awareness of current online risks and ensuring our community feels confident and supported when navigating the digital world.
We will continue to work with local groups and partners to promote online safety and provide accessible guidance to help keep residents safe.
