Operation Deadlatch
Tasmania Police in association with Assa-Abloy (Lockwood) Security Products, Neighbourhood Watch and The Crime Prevention and Community Safety Council launched Operation Deadlatch in 2006.
Operation Deadlatch is a program that provides victims of crime aged 65 and over, the opportunity to have dead-latches supplied and fitted free to their homes.
The recipients are identified through the Older Victims of Crime Program which has been run by Tasmania Police since the end of 2004.
The dead-latch devices have been supplied for free by Assa-Abloy Australia Pty Ltd, and have been installed for free by participating locksmiths in Hobart, Launceston and Burnie.
The Tasmania Police Operation Deadlatch project managers extend their appreciation to the supplier of the dead-latch devices, Assa-Abloy Australia Pty Ltd, and to the participating locksmiths:Tasmanian Locksmiths (Hobart); Jacksons Security (Launceston); and Direct Locksmiths (Burnie).
