Quick Check
Crime Prevention's Quick Check scheme, which allows householders to use a freephone number to confirm if a caller on their doorstep is genuine, has recently been promoted in the media.
The service is provided in partnership with Fold Telecare and Virgin Media with the support of utility companies who register their details.
Easy steps with Quick Check
Before you answer the door, make sure your back door is locked.
If you have a door chain remember to use it before you open the door.
Ask the caller for their identification and check it carefully.
Ask them to wait outside and close the door - genuine callers will not mind.
Ring Quick Check on freephone 0800 013 22 90. Your call will be answered personally and promptly by a trained operator. They will check with the company on your behalf, that the person at your door is genuine. If they are not or they think that there is something suspicious, they will contact the police immediately.
Do not let anyone into your home until you are satisfied as to who they are.
Quick Check is a free telephone service, which is available 24 hours a day all year round to residents throughout Northern Ireland
