Information about a safe Voorschoten at the markt

Staff from the Public Order and Safety Department of the Municipality of Voorschoten will be joining the Voorschoten Fire Department this Friday, December 16, at the weekly “ markt.” The municipality will also be bringing a special “subversive crime bus” . Through this initiative, the municipality and the fire department aim to provide residents with information about subversive crime in an accessible and interactive way.  

The municipality is also focusing on the “Dark Days Offensive,” the national winter campaign to prevent home burglaries. Over the past few days, paper “footprints” have appeared in various gardens and sheds in Voorschoten. These footprints were placed by staff from the “ supervision , and Enforcement” department, along with vocational students from the “ supervision , and Security Enforcement” program. The footprints were placed to raise residents’ awareness of how easily a burglar can strike. Residents can learn more about this during the information session at markt . 

The Big Fire Truck

The Voorschoten Fire Department will also be there with its large fire truck. Children can take a look at all the equipment inside the fire truck. Of course, they’ll also get to experience what it’s like to get behind the wheel as a real firefighter. The fire department will also provide information about the new smoke detector requirement and how to safely use a fireplace. 

Municipal employees and firefighters will be on site from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the end of the markt on the side facing Bloklaan.
