Police Reminder To Check For ID

Monday, 21 March, 2011

Police are reminding residents to check for identification when officials
visit homes in the region as part of the forthcoming 2011 Census process.

The actual Census day is Sunday 27th March, however, the field operation
will run from March to mid-August and census field staff will be taking to
the streets to offer assistance and collect questionnaires from residential
households and communal establishments across West Yorkshire. Every
household in West Yorkshire will have to complete a census form.

Members of the public should remember that:

   Residents who return their completed questionnaires promptly (before 6th
   April) will not be contacted by the census field staff
   All census staff will carry an ID card with photo, logo and hologram and
   should automatically show their ID and explain who they are They may ask
   for name and number of residents, but they will not ask for specific
   details (like credit card details, bank accounts etc)
   Census staff should never enter the household unless they are invited
   and they may also need to make several visits to the same address to
   ensure a questionnaire is returned.
   Residents will not be asked to leave their questionnaire on the doorstep
   for collection
   Residents can request a pre-arranged appointment with a collector via
   the census helpline number – 0300 0201 101
   Additional information/assistance can also be found on the census
   website www.census.gov.uk

For people who live in communal establishments such as care homes, hotels,
and halls of residence will have their questionnaires hand delivered as
well as Gypsy and Traveller sites, caravans parks and marinas. A dedicated
member of the Census staff will speak with the manager of the complex and
agree a date and time to pick-up completed questionnaires. They will not
necessarily speak with residents.

West Yorkshire Police are encouraging residents to be alert when dealing
with callers at the door.

Chris Joyce, Force Crime Reduction Officer said: "It is a sad fact of life
that some people will impersonate others to commit a criminal offence, so
it is extremely important that members of the public remember to satisfy
themselves that callers at their home are genuine and who they say they
are.

"Most callers at your door will be genuine, but it is vital that you
thoroughly check their identity before giving them any personal details of
allowing them access to your property’

"The Census Team has ensured that their staff follows good practice when
calling at residential properties. However, if you are in any doubt
whatsoever about the identity of anyone who calls at your home, do not let
them in, turn them away and then alert the Police if you are suspicious of
their intentions."

Anyone who would like additional information about the 2011 Census process
should ring the Census Helpline on 0300 0201 101 or visit www.census.gov.uk
