Thank you for all your help, support and useful information on your website and newsletters. As a real estate agent we are always referring our visitors, customers and clients to your website and newsletters especially for the Safe Residence Programme, ideas on crime prevention and your Police/GNR locator which is especially helpful. It is really reassuring for visitors and residents in the Algarve to have such a great resource in English. We believe the Safe Residence Programme is a very positive resource in both successfully selling many vendors’ more remote properties, giving its new occupants peace of mind and reducing crime. We will always support the great work you do for the community in the Algarve. 26th August 2014

I thought I would let you know that your contacts in the police in Lisbon did a sterling job, and made out a report, which I forwarded to the insurers in support of my complaint that they had rejected my claim. Lo and behold, they have paid up in full ( minus the excess), but pointing out that the rule still stands that you must report the theft locally within 24 hours. So, many thanks to you and the police in Lisbon. 28th May 2014.

Congratulations on the new format newsletter, it is very crisp, I know how much effort goes into producing community newsletters and publications. A lot of the content may be something you wouldn't choose to face up to and never ceases to intrigue me but being forewarned is being forearmed.11th April 2014

We thank you for your dedicated work which has helped many families to feel happier in their homes, including, as we know of four sets of friends that were attacked in their houses so it is very close to our hearts as they are still in a state of nervousness. Have a great Xmas and a happy healthy new year. 24th December 2013

The direction of ASPGN decided according to availability, supporting initiatives that Associação Safe Communities Algarve is promoting. We think that all work to promote community safety and establish safer communities is more than welcome. Good work and be safe. 7th November 2012

José dos Santos (Vice President Night Guard Service)

I am very pleased to learn that Safe Communities Algarve is now formally established as an association in Portugal. I know from the very positive feedback our consular team in Portimão has received that the work that David Thomas has done in raising crime prevention awareness within the Algarve community in general, not just amongst British residents, has made a significant impact on the perception and understanding of crime levels and crime prevention in the region. The consular team in Portimão and I have established a very strong relationship with David. Some of us joined him recently, along with the GNR and PSP, at a number of very well attended crime prevention seminars which also drew very positive comments. I am sure that the benefits from being recognised as a formal institution in Portugal will ensure that further excellent progress and results are assured. 7th November 2012

Jill Gallard – HM Ambassador to Portugal

The Faro District Command of the Public Security Police congratulates Safe Communities Algarve for the recent and formal registration as a Non-profit Association. It is public knowledge that one of the main objectives of the PSP District Command is the construction of an increasing safer community, so we must recognize and welcome the good work done by this Association towards Crime Prevention in Algarve, which we hope to reinforce in the near future, through the deepening of our support. 5th November 2012

Superintendent Jorge Mauricio

Thank you for email, I am really glad to see that the safe residence program is evolving to much more ambitious goals. Like I said before, I’m transferring but I’m remaining a user of the Safe Communities Algarve website. Wish you all luck to your enterprise. 5th October 2012

Telmo Gomes (GNR officer)

It was a pleasure to share the excellent presentations and participation of audience. These initiatives represent a very important role in the understanding and cohesion of our multicultural community of the Algarve and namely, of Lagos. 1st October 2012
