I'm looking for a cheaper option option to First Check Point's 0870 013 27 27 number.  A West Sussex branch use 0190 377 10 23, but wish Leeds followed suit.
They are linked to Trading Standards, Consumer Support Networks (CSN), & CASAC Partnership.
Their fax is 0113 293 74 00, & land address is 23 Shakespear Close, LS9 7UQ.

192.com quotes the 0870 and fax you give at the Shakespeare Close address. It also gives another address and telephone:

FIRST CHECK POINT LEEDS
82-83
THE PARADE
LEEDS
LS9 8HL

Tel 0113 2452451

Thanks, but I'm unsure.  I tried the number and did not get a "hello, First Check Point" reply, but something to do with "Hello, Recall...".

Maybe they need an 0870 to keep open this service....  They certainly hide it well, I think.

Checking with 192.com I think I may be mixed postcode with company.  "First Check Point" LS9 8HL has the number you give, while "First Check Point" LS9 7UQ a mile away has only a fax & 0870.  I suspect that FCP is a dept. within a larger office, only taking calls via 0870.  They phoned us back from 0113 3805650, but when we used this we got a totally different name.

Where have you got this information from? Do they have a website? Is it operated by the council?

A Google of "0113 293 7400" gives a couple of hits. See the two on clickajob.co.uk.  ;)

How does this help?  :-/

How many businesses are likely to be run from a church hall?
The address corresponds with info already supplied, so the name is given to match that address, and the number to match the name.
Both organisations are for the blue rinse army.

It's rather confusing, but there is a First Check Point at the 23, St. Agnes Church Hall,
Shakespeare Close, address.  I think they keep the real number dead quiet, while phoning out on a number that if you phone back gets a welcome from a different department.

Thanks guys for trying - I will probably try the Leeds 248 9191 number tomorrow and hope I get a "Hello First Check Point" welcome.

This number is at CASAC Partnership, which was mentioned in the OP.

Calling the 0870 answers with a message saying that "You've reached Kate at Checkpoint." Dialling around nearby numbers reveals the number you're after (i.e. answering with the same message) is 0113 3805646.  ;)

0113 3805650 belongs to Burglary Reduction Initiative (BRIL ) which comes under the CASAC umbrella

First Check Point, now CASAC Check Point, launched by the Leeds Distraction Burglary Initiative in 2001 and funded by the Home Office, was set up to provide an approved list of 'trustworthy' contractors to reduce incidents of distraction burglary and fraudulent transactions. By 2003, it had passed 3,800 referrals to contractors building now to more than 12,000 people across Leeds. The scheme was further funded by Leeds Safer Communities to ensure its continued success and it aims to be fully self-financing this year. It is now managed by local charitable body, Community Action Support Against Crime (CASAC). (Contact Director Amy Bell 0113 380 5643)

Thanks again to Dave with the focal number, and to a very nice man for lot's of explanation of things puzzling me.

I am more than happy with help given and think this thread concluded to high satisfaction.
