All about CASAC - Community Action and Support Against Crime

WHO WE ARE

It’s our aim to reduce crime and the fear of crime achieving a situation where every individual can live their life free from the fear of crime and in safer communities.

CASAC (Community Action and Support Against Crime) are an established West Yorkshire Social Enterprise that works with local people, the Police and other statutory agencies to improve community safety and are dedicated to reducing crime and the fear of crime. Our profits are invested back into the community through projects to tackle some of the root causes of crime such as prostitution and anti social behaviour.

HOW

At CASAC we only recommend the best products and trades people and will only install the highest level of security equipment. We actively look out for the next big thing in security that can support crime reduction efforts.  

We are a not-for-profit Home Security Social Enterprise with Charity status and have worked on burglary reduction projects with local communities, the Police and statutory agencies for over 11 years, securing more than 60,000 properties. Less than 0.01% of properties have been a victim of repeat burglary, where access has been gained through security products fitted by CASAC. We are extremely proud of this! 

CASAC Partnerships 

The charity side of CASAC works to set up projects in the local community that focus on getting people back into work. 

CASAC's profits also go towards sponsoring Neighborhood Watch schemes and funding Check Point and Burglary Reduction to assist vulnerable/elderly burglary victims by providing the target hardening service free of charge. 

WHAT WE DO

Free Home Security Assessment

A free assessment that checks all doors have 5 lever locks or Snap-Secure Euro Cylinders on uPVC doors, if not then a recommendation will be made to change the locks via a quote which is provided at the time of the visit. The customer can then decide whether to accept the quote and have the work done or not. 

Target Hardening 

Usually following a security assessment, this service includes the fitting of additional security measures to a property, such as window/door locks, and door chains.  Attention is paid to uPVC doors, which have been identified by the West Yorkshire Police as a common entry point for burglars; weak Euro Cylinders are replaced by more robust anti-bump and anti-snap Euro Cylinders.

Check Point 

This free service operates to protect householders from bogus and “cowboy” tradespeople by providing recommended, local and reliable trades for home repairs, maintenance or improvements. Tradespeople are interviewed and checked regularly. Check Point covers Leeds, Bradford, Huddersfield and Wakefield.

CASAC Crime Alert

This free online service allows the public to register and receive e-mail/text message alerts when there is suspected criminal activity underway in the areas chosen.
