People in Lichfield and Burntwood are being encouraged to display a new poster as part of a campaign to prevent cold callers and distraction burglars.

Staffordshire Police have produced a printable A4 document to display in the window with tips on the back to help prevent criminals.

The poster lets cold callers know they aren’t welcome.

A spokesperson for Staffordshire Police said:

> “Would be burglars can be clever and will use any opportunity to access your property, even an open window gives them the opportunity to strike.  
>  
> “They often use distraction tactics to target the most vulnerable in the community.  
>  
> “Our printable image can be folded and displayed in a window. The front contains a clear message to dissuade cold callers and the back contains tips to reduce the likelihood of burglary.”  
>  
> Staffordshire Police spokesperson

The poster can be downloaded from [the Staffordshire Police website](https://assets.neighbourhoodalert.co.uk/images/site%5Fimages/63717%5FNo%5Fcold%5Fcallers%5Fwindow%5Finformation.pdf?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk).
