Volunteers have praised a new police initiative that enables members of the public to play an active role in keeping their communities safe.
Anti-Social Behaviour
We have decided to keep ASB as an ongoing priority into the next quarter. Recent data indicates a fall in ASB across the district which is positive, however community feedback still indicates this is a primary concern. We focus our efforts on areas with high level of reporting, and so if you are experiencing ASB it is vital that this is reported to the police or NSDC. In the last month the team have taken part in the school safety event, in which hundreds of primary age children have taken part. A specific input on ASB was delivered by neighbourhood officers in an effort to educate and prevent these children becoming involved in crime and ASB.
As we go into the summer months the team will be under taking targeted patrols, particularly in our parks and open spaces, as well as the town and village centres, to deter and disrupt these behaviours.
Serious Acquisitive Crime
This continues to be a cause for concern specifically in the rural communities where issues around cable theft, plant theft and fuel theft are prevalent. The team have worked closely with the force's Rural Crime Coordinator to identify trends and target hardening option. This month we have undertaken an operation targeting offenders committing large scale fuel thefts from irrigation systems. Such offending has significant impact not only in terms of the theft itself, but also the knock on effect on the crops. It is often linked to wider organised offending. We are continuing to work on targeting and building intelligence to identify those responsible for organised and cross boarder offending of this kind.
Drugs
The team have continued efforts to target dealers and disrupt the supply of drugs across the district. Working with officers from the Modern Day Slavery team we recently undertook a number of search warrants which resulted in the arrest and charge of 4 suspects. This was a cumulation of months of work, and a great result for the community. We haven’t stopped there, and we are continuing to focus our efforts to develop intelligence and build evidence against those who cause harm in our communities. We rely on community support and intelligence to do this, so please report information and intelligence to us via 101 or Crime Stoppers.
