Beat Update

January 2012 Update

We are being told by the community of Awsworth and Cossall that the Anti Social Behaviour in the area has decreased.
The Beat Team increased the patrols in the area, targeting local youths and challenging their behaviour.
As a result of the commitment of officers patrolling, two Acceptable Behaviour Contracts and one Anti Social Behaviour Order have been given to local youths. This is particularly the case in areas such as Lawrence Avenue and Chesterman Close, where these incidents were being reported.
Crime in the villages has also seen reductions.
From April the 1st 2011 to September the 30th 2011 saw a 31% reduction in Awsworth and a 65% reduction in Cossall of reported crimes compared to the same period in 2010.
From October the 1st 2011 to January the 19th 2012 saw a 12% reduction in Awsworth and a slight increase of six crimes in Cossall of reported crimes compared to the same period in 2010.

Any information received by you, the local community, is a great help to us to keep these crime figures and incidents of Anti Social Behaviour down!
Some crime prevention advice, please keep unattended windows closed where possible as open windows are a target for potential burglars. Also please do not leave items unattended in vehicles as again these might get stolen.
