POLICE UPDATES FOR DECEMBER 2009
Friday 18 December 2009 - Sunday 20 December 2009
During this weekend over 20 extra officers were utilised to police the Rushcliffe South area, focusing on the 20/20 Vision, directing patrols to the “Risky Places “ and the “Risky People” within the community.
Bingham and Trent
High visibility patrols both mobile and on foot have taken place during the above period. These patrols have incorporated both Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham.
On the evenings of both Friday 18 December and Saturday 19 December, local pubs and late night outlets were visited by patrolling officers. The aim of these visits is two fold, both to provide reassurance to retailers and members of the community and also in a bid to prevent any incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour either at, or connected to, these premises. A licensee was warned with regard to serving late and this matter will be dealt with by the Licensing Officer.
Risky Places were targeted and a number of local youths and girls were spoken to regarding their general behaviour.
On Sunday 20 December 2009, four males were arrested on suspicion of an assault that occurred at approximately 2355 hours on Saturday 19 December 2009 on Shelford Road, Radcliffe on Trent. These four males have been interviewed and released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Patrolling officers reported that their interaction with members of the public was met with positive feedback and this clearly indicates that the 20/20 Vision is being seen positively.
The Special Constabulary in particular have been in operation during December and specifically during the evenings of Saturday 5 and Wednesday 9 December 2009 along side regular officers, high visibility patrols were carried out throughout the village. The main hotspot areas for anti-social behaviour were targeted in line with the “Risky Places” policy, and during the evening of Wednesday 9 December 2009 a group of youths were issued with Section 27 notices, which require individuals to leave an area for a designated period of time. This is a tool, which is used to combat Anti-Social Behaviour in relation particularly to drink affected individuals. A breach of this notice can result in arrest and one individual has been arrested during this period of time and dealt with at the Police Station. Stop and search powers have been used and in addition more than 20 local youths and girls have been spoken to by patrolling officers, and both bail and curfew checks have been conducted where relevant.
Radcliffe and Bingham have seen a reduction in crime and anti-social behaviour over recent months and the Neighbourhood Beat Team remain committed to improving this further with extra patrols planned for the run up to the Christmas period.
POLICE UPDATES FOR NOVEMBER 2009
I am also pleased to be able to report that as a result of ongoing ASB at Dayncourt Comprehensive School, a male has been arrested and subsequently charged to court for an offence of causing a nuisance and disturbance on educational premises. This male has had conditions placed upon him, not permitting him to attend the school during certain times of the day. This is another step forward in tackling individuals whose behaviour is not considering the lives of others.
On Friday 20 November and Wednesday 25 November as part of Operation Broadside, officers conducted high visibility foot patrols in Radcliffe on Trent and surrounding villages.
During these patrols, all areas highlighted in the priority for anti-social behaviour were covered and although the police did receive two calls of a Rowdy-Nuisance nature, these were isolated incidents and were away from the locations identified as hotspots.
Friday 27 November - Monday 30 November 2009
During the above weekend, Operations Broadside and Bagreef continued in the Radcliffe on Trent area. On Friday 27 November during the evening, five officers performed high visibility patrols within the areas highlighted as presenting an anti-social behaviour problem. This was in line with Nottinghamshire Police's 20/20 Vision, which involves targeting “Risky People “ and “ Risky Places". Also all late night outlets were visited, as were local supermarkets and pubs, with a view to providing reassurance for residents, staff and persons frequenting the above.
On Saturday 28 November these Operations continued and a group of youngsters were removed from the Main Street at the request of patrolling officers.
Police Update - Operations Bagreef, Buttonwood and Broadside.
Monday 30 November 2009 - Wednesday 16 December 2009
During the above period the Local Policing Area has benefited from up to 16 extra officers being deployed on a Friday and Saturday evening when local officers supported by other departments have continued to patrol the area in line with the Nottinghamshire Police 20/20 Vision. This has previously been reported and involves targeting both the Risky People and Risky Places within the community. These patrols have been high visibility both on foot and in vehicles and have been conducted in a positive manner.
POLICE UPDATES FOR OCTOBER 2009
I am pleased to be able to report that, already - as a result of information received from local residents - several teenagers along with their parents/carers have signed Acceptable Behaviour Contracts. Within the contacts individuals have agreed not to carry out behaviour that could be considered anti-social and not to attend certain problematic areas/hotspots throughout the village.
Further to this, three individuals have recently been arrested and prosecuted for anti-social related criminal offences and numerous moped owners have received warnings about using their vehicles in a way that causes a nuisance.
This action would not be possible without the information received from local residents and members of the public and I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you and to encourage you to continue to report anti-social incidents to the Police.
Over the weekend of Friday 30 and Saturday 31 October 2009 between 1600hrs and 2359hrs, members of the Rushcliffe South Local Beat Team performed high visibility foot patrols in the core areas in a bid to address incidents of Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB), at a traditionally busy time. This proved successful in that reported incidents were kept to a minimum. There were no reported crimes during this time.
Particular attention was paid to the locations of Main Street and the Queens Road area. In addition a number of stop/searches were performed.
Our Solution
These tactics used have proved productive in achieving the aims of this priority. - Anti-social behaviour - Bingham, Cranmer and Thoroton Show details

_________________________________________________
July 2010
During the past four weeks the local Neighbourhood Policing Team have continued to target the problematic areas identified within the local priorities. This period has seen a sustained reduction in the amount of anti-social behaviour incidents reported in these areas, including the most recent issue of nuisance motorbikes.
We are however, cognisant that there may be a ripple effect as a consequence of this so the team are closely monitoring the town centre’s neighbouring areas for any increase of incidents.
May I encourage members of the public to continue to report incidents, as this is vital to the police in identifying areas of concern and directing resources accordingly.

_________________________________________________
POLICE UPDATE FOR THE PERIOD OF 15/4/2010 - 18/5/2010
During the last month there has been a significant decrease in the amount of reported ASB in the Main Street and St Mary's Church areas of ROT. This can be put down to the following:
-High police presence at key times when ASB has been previously reported.
-Extra Patrols carried out as part of planned Police operations.
-The introduction of the Designated Public Place Order that was introduced on 1st May 2010. This allows police to stop street drinking and confiscate alcohol if necessary.
In addition to this, following numerous reports regarding ASB on mopeds, a total of twelve Section 59 Warnings have now been given to youths who have behaved in an anti-social manner whilst driving, two of which have later resulted in mopeds being seized.
The local beat team are dedicated to maintain these reductions and will continue to vigorously police these areas, particularly as the warmer weather approaches and the nights remain lighter.
POLICE UPDATE FOR THE PERIOD OF 05/03/2010 - 14/04/2010
The past few weeks has seen a sharp rise in the amount of calls being made to the police in relation to problems/nuisance being caused, by what seems to be, an ever-increasing amount of mopeds in the Radcliffe on Trent area.
These complaints have ranged from the noise levels of certain vehicles to the poor, inconsiderate and sometimes potentially dangerous manner of driving being carried by their riders.
As a result of these calls and due to growing concerns of their own, the Local Neighbourhood Policing Team have set in motion a strategy, targeting this problem.
In recent weeks officers have issued eight riders with Section 59 warnings and have already seized one of these vehicles as a result of the rider ignoring his warning. This will result in the owner having to pay in excess of £200 for its return.
Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 refers to vehicles being used in a manner that causes alarm, distress or annoyance. If a vehicle is being used in this way, or amounts to careless or inconsiderate driving officers are able to deal with it using the methods mentioned above.
Can I take this opportunity to urge residents to report such incidents to the police and if at all possible to make a note of the vehicle’s registration number as this will enable us to pursue the culprits and take the appropriate action.
I believe that this approach will proliferate a message throughout the group and we will hopefully see a change for the better.
POLICE UPDATE FOR THE PERIOD OF 18/02/10 - 04/03/10
On Friday 26 February 2010, PC Mathias, the Radcliffe on Trent Beat Manager, along with another officer, conducted covert patrols in the Radcliffe on Trent area. Several youths were spoken to in hotspot areas and names and address were taken. Several of these youths were stop searched and two moped riders were given warnings regarding using their bikes to cause nuisance.
On Thursday 4 March 2010, a drug search warrant was executed in the Radcliffe on Trent area targeting the supply of controlled drugs. As a result a male was arrested and dealt with for possession of cannabis. A further warrant was executed with a negative result.
During the last two weeks there were two incidents of anti-social behaviour reported in the Queens Road area. We have been running operations, such as Operation Buttonwood, in order to combat the issue and we have maintained high visibility foot patrols in order to reduce any incidents of anti-social behaviour. There were no reports of anti-social behaviour for all other areas identified in the priority survey.

As a result of this PSM the priorities were identified and the Rushcliffe South NPT gave assurances as to how over the next three months these issues would be addressed.
Locations where identified with those most problematic in Bingham being the Market Place and the surrounding streets along with the Leisure Centre and bus stops along Nottingham Road.
It has been identified from the surveys that the main times that problems occur is from 6pm until 10pm during the week and 6pm until midnight at the weekend.
Our Response
The methods to be used in combating the issues raised will be by high visibility patrols in these areas at appropriate times by members of the Neighbourhood Policing Team including The Special Constabulary.
Positive action will be taken and offenders arrested where required.
Use will be made of stop and search powers and powers of dispersal and alcohol seizures will be made.
Low-level offenders will also be identified and required to sign up to Acceptable Behaviour Contracts.
Operation Broadside
We continue to run Operation Broadside, which is our operation to tackle anti-social behaviour. Details of persons dealt with are logged. Letters are sent to parents and also the details are shared with Rushcliffe Borough Council should further interventions be required. We have seen a decrease in anti-social behaviour and hope this continues. Our patrols have also been supplemented by a number of Special Constables who work with us most evenings of the week. Please continue to report incidents to us on 101 so we can ensure that we are patrolling the correct areas.
We also continue to work alongside the Crime Reduction Partnership, Community Speedwatch and Neighbourhood Watch.
Operation Buttonwood
This operation is when local officers are supported by other departments and they continually patrol the area in line with the Nottinghamshire Police 20/20 Vision. As anti-social behaviour has previously been reported, this operation involves targeting both the Risky People and Risky Places within the community. These patrols involve high visibility, both on foot and in vehicles, and are conducted in a positive manner.
Our patrols have also been supplemented by a number of Special Constables who work with us most evenings of the week. Please continue to report incidents to us on 101 so we can ensure that we are patrolling the correct areas.

Our Solution
These tactics used have proved productive in achieving the aims of this priority. - Speeding Show details
During the months of November 2009, December 2009 and January 2010 the Neighbourhood Policing Team (NPT) conducted a large number of priority survey forms (PSF’S) amongst the community.
As a result of receiving over 200 responses this information was used at the first priority-setting meeting (PSM) in order to give a detailed account of what were the issues of concern within the community. This meeting consisted of members of the community such as neighbourhood watch members, parish councillors, local residents and business people.
As a result of this PSM the priorities were identified and the Rushcliffe South NPT gave assurances as to how over the next three months these issues would be addressed.
Speeding motor vehicles in the rural villages throughout the wards of Oak, Cranmer and Thoroton would be a priority for local Policing for the next three months.
It has been identified from the surveys that the main times that problems occur are between 07.30 until 09.00hrs and between 16.30 and 18.00hrs.
This will be reassessed at a further meeting in April 2010.
Our Response

POLICE UPDATE FOR THE PERIOD OF 15/4/2010 - 18/5/2010
Police speed checks are imminent. Specific information and the results of these checks will be listed as soon as it is available.
It is our intention to carry out checks of individual villages rather than collective checks. Villages due to be checked are Aslockton and Whatton, Granby and Orston.
POLICE UPDATE FOR THE PERIOD OF 26/03/2010 - 14/04/2010
The past few weeks has seen a sharp rise in the amount of calls being made to the police in relation to problems/nuisance being caused, by what seems to be, an ever-increasing amount of mopeds in the Radcliffe on Trent and surrounding areas.
These complaints have ranged from the noise levels of certain vehicles to the poor, inconsiderate and sometimes potentially dangerous manner of driving being carried by their riders.
As a result of these calls and due to growing concerns of their own, the Local Neighbourhood Policing Team have set in motion a strategy, targeting this problem.
In recent weeks officers have issued eight riders with Section 59 warnings and have already seized one of these vehicles as a result of the rider ignoring his warning. This will result in the owner having to pay in excess of £200 for its return.
Section 59 of the Police Reform Act 2002 refers to vehicles being used in a manner that causes alarm, distress or annoyance. If a vehicle is being used in this way, or amounts to careless or inconsiderate driving officers are able to deal with it using the methods mentioned above.
Can I take this opportunity to urge residents to report such incidents to the police and if at all possible to make a note of the vehicle’s registration number as this will enable us to pursue the culprits and take the appropriate action.
I believe that this approach will proliferate a message throughout the group and we will hopefully see a change for the better.

_________________________________________________
Police Update for January 2011
Main Street, Radcliffe on Trent has continued to see a reduction in the amount of anti-social behaviour incidents reported to the Police.
There has though, been an increased Police presence throughout the wards of Manvers, Trent and Oak. This was part of Operation Boost that has now reached a climax and was the police's response to an increase in dwelling house burglaries over the Christmas period.
Although this level of policing is not sustainable on a permanent basis, the operation was a success with the level of burglaries being reduced. And was possible, due to less resources being employed by previous high anti-social behaviour levels.
The Operation was a positive activity for the area and it is hoped that it will have a lasting effect in keeping crime levels down.
Members of the Local Area Group will be again meeting with the local police, hopefully in February, when the present local policing priorities will be reviewed.
Police Update for November 2010
Anti-Social Behaviour has remained a priority for Main Road and surrounding areas in spite of the amount of reported incidents continuing to decrease. This has been judged necessary in order to maintain this reduction, and to ensure that the problems previously encountered do not reoccur.
The Local Neighbourhood Policing team will carry on targeting ASB in all areas of Rushcliffe and planned operations such as operation Broadside will continue throughout.
In addition to the police’s efforts I would also like to highlight the following:
The Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) - that makes it an offence for members of the public to continue drinking when instructed to cease by police/community officers - persists in helping to successfully combat such behaviour and action taken by local businesses and community establishments have also played a large role.
St Mary’s Church and The Royal Oak Public House have both engaged with the police, resulting in extra lighting covering a problematic area in the church yard and the installation of a suitable decking area, that creates a proper barrier between drinkers and the once troublesome car park area.
This clearly identifies the strength of working in partnership and I would encourage any residents/business owners etc. to make contact with your local policing team and discuss any problems you are experiencing.

Police Update for March 2011
The local police team have continued to monitor this area and I am pleased to report that we have sustained a decline in anti-social behaviour incidents. It has been decided by members of the Local Area Group though, that it should remain as one of the local policing priorities. This decision has been based on the fact that there are no other significant areas of concern, and both the Group and Police believe that it is imperative to remain focussed on this type of problem. We are entering a time of year that historically sees an increase of incidents relating to anti-social behaviour, so it could easily re-occur without apposite management.
I would like to remind residents that, serious acquisitive crime offences, such as burglary, robbery and car crime etc. is constantly a FORCE priority and is not affected by, but runs along side, the local priorities.

CRIME PREVENTION ADVICE
YOUR HOME
Most domestic burglaries are committed by ‘opportunist’ thieves, looking for the easiest way into your home without being seen or disturbed. The biggest deterrent to a household burglar is the occupancy or apparent occupancy. Light timers are a good idea to use in rooms that are the most commonly used when at home.
WINDOWS - Window locks that can be seen may prevent or deter a burglar from forcing the window.
BURGLAR ALARMS - An intruder alarm installed and used properly can deter burglars.
MAIN DOORS - All exterior wooden doors should be fitted with at least a five-lever mortise lock. However, locks are only as good as the door and frame, so make sure they are in good condition.
KEYS - Some burglaries and car thefts are committed after keys are hooked through letterboxes and windows. Remember to keep your keys in a safe place, out of sight and well away from doors and windows.
GOING ON HOLIDAY - Cancel any deliveries of newspapers or milk. If possible get a neighbour or friend to open and close curtains and remove mail out of sight. If you are going away please do not advertise this, especially on social networking sites such as Facebook.
PERIMETER SECURITY - Hedges or fences at the front of your home should be limited to 1 metre in height. At the rear, hedges, fences or walls should be 1.8 metres high. Gates should be the same height and padlocked. Consider placing a trellis along the top of your fence or plant prickly or thorny bushes, such as Berberis, Pyrocantha or Roses, alongside the fence.
LIGHTING – Consider fitting security lights. These can be floodlights controlled by passive infra-red (PIR) detectors that activate when they see movement. Low wattage lights controlled by ‘dusk to dawn’ sensors stay on all night and can cost as little as 1p per night in electricity.
GARDENS - Gardens should be clear of anything that the burglar might use to break into your home. Clear away gardening tools when you have finished. Move ladders, tables, chairs and wheelie bins, or chain and padlock them to a strong anchorage point. Security mark expensive items you leave in your garden.
GARDEN SHEDS AND GARAGES - Fit good quality, close-shackled padlocks to doors and keep them locked. Add reinforcements to doors and windows including grilles. Consider wiring a shed or garage to your house burglar alarm system.
VEHICLES - Please ensure that when vehicles are left unattended, doors are locked and all items of value are removed such as Sat Navs and holders. Try to get into the habit of wiping the windscreen where the holder has been.
GOOD NEIGHBOURING - If you see anyone acting suspiciously, call the police. Make a note of any vehicle registration numbers, the description of the person and the time. Contact CRIMESTOPPERS anonymously, on freephone 0800 555 111.
If you are ringing to report a crime, then please phone 101 and speak to the force control room. They will allocate your query appropriately. Please note that this is a new number.
