  Beats from the Bobbies on the Beat
Salford police have turned to music to try and get important messages out to residents.
To the tune of ‘She’ll Be Coming Round The Mountain’, Crime Reduction Advisors Glyn Wood and Fiona James have written a crime fighting song to help tackle burglary and vehicle crime. The song has been produced free of charge by Salford City Radio and will be played at regular intervals as well as on Glyn and Fiona’s show, Crimetime. Crime Reduction Advisor, Glyn Wood, said: “We are always looking for new and cost effective ways to get crime prevention messages out to residents and were inspired to write a song after another force did something similar. “Everybody knows ‘she’ll be coming round the mountain’ and although the song is a bit of light hearted fun, it does have a serious undertone and I hope that people will take note of the important crime prevention messages on offer.” The song was produced by former record producer and now co-presenter and Salford City Radio Station Manager, Chris Brophy. Chris said: “Crimetime is the highlight of my week as I get to hear about issues which effect where I live in while being able to enjoy great music and have a good giggle at the same time. “We may not have the X-Factor but the song does send out an important message about how the public can do more to prevent themselves from falling victims of crime.” Tune in Crimetime on Salford City Radio every Friday at 11am.
