What happens next?   

What should the public do next?….and what will you be doing to follow up your publicity initiative?

  • Where possible provide a clear ‘action point’ for the public
     

  • If more detailed information or advice is necessary, include a phone number, contact address or website details as a means of follow-up. Brief in advance those who may be on the receiving end of calls or queries
     

  • Monitor response, phone calls, publicity material take-up or any other follow-up that your initiative has generated (including any new community contacts which may be of value in future partnerships).
     

  • Build up a local database that will assist future campaign planning and crime reduction development.
